Monday ■ Wednesday
January 4 - January 6
CATTLE Compared last
weeks close, slaughter steers
steady to 25 higher, slaughter
heifers steady to 50 higher
cows 50-100 higher, bulls 50
higher.
Uneven distubution of re
ceipts locally resulted in some
fairly shaip price fluctuations
in both slaughter steers and
heifers On Monday, marketings
were curtailed sharply in face
of a heavy snowfall and adverse
road conditions Both slaughter
steer and heifer prices regis
tered a substantial price upturn
due to the small supply How
ever, expanded marketings
Tuesday and Wednesday caus
ed prices of both classes to
react downward, and much of
the early advance was offset by
declines on Tuesday and Wed
nesday.
