Compared with last weeks
close slaughter steers and heifers
mostly 25c higher, instances 50c
higher. Cows 25-50 c higher, bulls
fully steady. Small feeder supply
fully steady. Some fleshy two
way steers 50c higher.
Four day receipts 19,300 as
compared 15,900 previous week
and 25,700 a year ago. Slaughter
steers approximately 35 percent,
heifers 35 percent, cows 8 per
cent, and feeders near 20 percent.
Fed cattle trade showed high
measure of stability as most
slaughterers went into the week
needing cattle for immediate
requirements. Most buying in
terests somewhat cautious and
selective at midweek, however,
in view of continued unfavorable
ratio between current live prices
and carcass realizations in ad
dition to the slow movements of
carcass beef at the wholesale
level. Order buyers again fairly
aggressive overall finish at
tractive with liberal percentage
Choice and moderate volume
High-Choice and Prime. Slightly
expanded supplies were ideally
distributed over trading period.
Average cost slaughter steers
first three days 32.95 average
weight 1129 lbs as compared 32.53
and 1116 lbs previous week and
27.37 and 1106 lbs a year ago.
