Sales of cured cattle hides for the period ending September 7 were 379,700 pieces. The figure for exports of wet blue was 167,200 pieces.
The most recent reports on hide prices have continued to show levels of $20 for heavy Texas steers, with weights of 60-62 pounds, although the price had gone up to $20.50 earlier in the month. We also saw prices of $33.75 for butt-branded steers of 62-64 pounds, and $27 for Colorado-branded steers of the same weight.
Branded heifer hides weighing 48-50 pounds have been priced at $20 on recent lists. No other new cow hide prices have come to light.
The source of all these figures is the US Department of Agriculture. Please note that the prices quoted represent ‘ballpark’ figures.
