Animal protein prices were steady on Thursday May 16.
Market sources reported an uptick in interest, but the upcoming Memorial Day holiday, lower prices for distiller dried grains with solubles and the price volatility in soybean meal have led to flat values for the near term on most products, specifically meat and bonemeal.
