Pork insides (red) combo broke below its three week range. Choice sirloin flap broke its run lower and closed up. The Choice/Select spread widened $6.25 to $28.43/cwt, so trading down to Select saves more. Choice knuckle peeled has closed higher four days in a row. Wednesday's cattle kill 109,000 head, 9% under a year ago.
