Several sellers reported this week’s trading was slower than the week prior, which was the Lunar New Year holiday week. The exact volume of loads was withheld by several sellers.
Bidding activity increased yesterday with most bids steady to current market levels for steer and cow hides. However, a few sellers reported that the majority of bids for regular-weight Butt Branded Steer (BBS) hides were around $26/piece, down $1.50/piece from last reported levels.
