Omaha Cattle
Thursday, November 4
Compared with last weeks
close —slaughter steers mostly
steady, instances strong to 25c
higher than dull late trade of
previous week. Heifers fully
steady under continued board
demand. Cows and bull steady.
Modest feeder cattle and call
supply fully steady.
Despite a curtailed outlay of
slaughter cattle and the need for
numbers to meet immediate
slaughter requirements, buyers
strongly resisted any price ad
vance the forepart of week in
view of the generally unfavorable
ratio between current live prices
and carcass realizations. At the
same time, most sources
reported the available supply of
market-ready cattle limited and
feeders hesitant to market cattle
under prevailing bearish con
ditions. Wholesale carcass prices
firmed at mid-week and
stimulated a greater
aggressiveness with a good
demand by shippers and order
buyers.
Four day receipts 15,800 as
compared 16,900 previous week
and 23,300 year ago. Slaughter
steers approximately 36 percent,
heifers 34 percent, cows 8 percent
and feeder 20 percent, including
those consigned for Friday
auction.
Average cost slaughter steers
first three days 32.54 average
weight 1116 lbs as compared 32.42
and 1101 lbs previous week and
27.31 and 1111 lbs a year ago.
