US cured hide shipments to Korea have nearly doubled, an approximate 99% increase, from week 48 to 49 as Korean auto tanneries continue to experience a robust recovery. The nearby end-of-year holidays are pushing buyers and sellers alike to finish-up purchases by the end of next week. Steers remain at fairly steady prices, while Branded Cows (BC) receive more interest.
