Trade Steady to Higher, Logistics Remain an Issue

Packers sold a good volume of hides this week at steady to current market levels to $0.50 to $1 higher. Branded heifers sold $1 higher and specialized cow selections that are not reported on The Jacobsen Price Guide were sold $0.50 higher than the last traded levels.
