Sales of cured cattle hides for the period ending April 3 were 336,100 pieces. The figure for exports of wet blue was 20,500 pieces.

The most recent reports on hide prices showed Colorado-branded steers weighing 63-65 pounds still at $18.75, but heavy Texas steers weighing 60-62 now at $15 per piece. 

Cow hide prices came down to $12.50 for northern dairy cows, $12 for south-west dairy cows, $6 for northern branded cows and $5.50 for south-west branded cows, with weights of 50-52 pounds in each case.

The source of all these figures is the US Department of Agriculture. Please note that the prices quoted represent ‘ballpark’ figures.
