Values reflect adjustments to base prices, dollars per cwt., on a carcass basis. Weighted average price is calculated on individual packer slaughter volume of packers represented in the 5 state area. * If yield grades are not available, yield differentials may be based on fat at 12th rib using a constant of average ribeye area and muscling for carcass weight and KPH. Superior or inferior muscling may adjust lean yield.
