Beef printed 15 quotes higher, 23 lower, on the heaviest volume in a month. Six of every ten beef pounds that cleared today were trim, 1.9x the usual share. Prices moved, but nothing broke out of its recent range. Outsides have closed lower six days in a row. Friday's weekly chicken report: boneless skinless thigh meat has added 17% over 6 weeks without a single lower close.
