During the week before last, the market was once again mixed with steer hides steady to firm and cow hides continuing to struggle. There was a glimmer of light, however, with a couple positive reports from suppliers regarding their cow positions. The week’s hide index average was $68.13, up $0.69 from the previous week’s average. In general, the steer market was up at least a dollar while most cow selections remain steady.
