Compared with last week’s
close: Closing price on Average-
Good to Prime slaughter steers
and all heifers 25-50 c lower with
High-Choice and Prime 1200-1300
pound steers frequently showing
the full decline early .Standard
and Low-Good steers steady to
25c lower. Cows generally steady
but trading often slow. Bulls
steady. Modest feeder supply
fully steady.
Four day receipts 18,400 as
compared 22,400 previous week
and 20,500 a year ago. For first
time in ten weeks, closing prices
on slaughter steers and heifers
lower than at the end of the
previous week. Declines
triggered by sharp early down
turn on carcass beef at the
wholesale level and not enough
volume late to reflect the
reversal of the carcass trade as
prices surged upward. Local
supplies quite poorly distributed
over trading period. While all
buying interests sought to bring
live prices into an acceptable
ratio with carcass realizations,
there was a generally good
demand as most buying interests
were in need of cattle for im
mediate slaughter requirements.
Slaughter steers made up ap
proximately 50 per cent, heifers
31 per cent with a large number
Good to Average-Choice, cows 8
per cent, feeders 9 per cent.
