25 cuts are trading 12% or more under the five-year norm for this week, up from 11 two weeks ago. The cheap side is widening. Chemical lean fresh 50% slipped under the bottom of its three week range. Choice loin bottom sirloin flap kept climbing: another higher day in a higher week. Chemical lean fresh 50% has averaged a lower price four weeks after this week of the year, over the last 5 years. That is history, not a forecast. Beef and pork split: the cutout went one way and the carcass the other. Loin ball-tip boneless heavy has closed higher five days in a row.
