Thuriday, October 12
Compared with last week’s
close closing prices on 1025-1150
pound slaughter steers mostly
steady, 1150-1300 pounds steady
to 25 lower. Heifers steady under
a continued broad demand. Cows
75-1.00 lower in generally slow
trading. Bulls steady. Feeder
cattle generally steady although
demand for fleshy two-way steers
somewhat less aggressive
forepart of week than most
recent week.
Four day receipts 17,900 as
compared 16,900 previous week
and 20,300 a year ago. Slaughter
steers approximately 29 percent,
heifers 35 percent, cows 9 percent
and feeders near 25 percent in
cluding some 3000 for Friday
auction not included in above four
day total. For fifth successive
week fed cattle trade followed a
stable course although 1150-1300
pound steers under some
downward pressure in reflection
of price differential which has
evolved on carcass beef. Over the
past five week period the average
cost of slaughter steers has
shown a net change of only 28
cents with the 16 pound increase
in average weights mainly a
consequence of the volume of
two-way steers returned to
feedlot for further finish.
