A big packer sold regular weight butt branded steers at $25.50 per piece today, which recovered the price from the decrease from the day prior to $24 per piece. The light and regular weight heavy native steer hides sold at sideways levels, despite reports of possible price easing driven by weak automotive hide demand.
