Trading in the early part of last week was quiet but seemed to pick up on Thursday. However, even with the pick-up, expectations were that business would be softer than in the previous week. Interest remained on bargain material and this was a good opportunity for processors to clean up as buyers looked for cheaper alternatives to $38/$39 steers. The cow market was reported better, but did not see the flurry of increases that steers did. This is understandable since they are destined for different outlets.
