Markets reflect steady trends in Texas broilers and Kansas cattle
Texas broiler markets were steady with a late week drift to undertone as East Texas and Waco Corsicana saw lighter trading but above normal activity on lighter weights. Prices closed mostly unchanged with slight dips in East Texas and Corsicana, while South Texas showed normal weekly movement and lighter weight birds in good demand. Kansas City cattle markets show week-to-week declines across steers, heifers, and calves with mixed price levels for fed cattle and feeders, and notable drops for lambs and yearlings.
