on a live basis, and $167 plus dressed. 

A light to moderate trade developed in the North yesterday with dressed 
deals at mostly $163, $2 higher than last week's weighted average basis 
Nebraska. Private sources reported live deals in Colorado at $103.50, up 
$2.50 from last week. Kansas also saw a little light trade at $103 to $105, 
mostly $103, fully steady with Wednesday's business, but $2 higher than last

Today's slaughter totaled 111,000 head, 8,000 below last week, and 5,000 
smaller than a year ago. Saturday's kill is estimated at 55,000 head, 
bringing the weekly total to 645,000 head, 71,000 head more than the prior 
week, but 16,000 below 2019. Cattle futures closed mostly moderately higher

cutouts are expected to close higher with light to moderate box movement.
