Thursday, October 19
Compared with last week’s
close closing prices on slaughter
steers steady to 25 lower, heifers
mostly steady. Cows steady to 25
higher. Bulls steady. Fleshy two
way feeder steers and heifers
weak to 50 lower, others mostly
steady.
Four day- receipts 18,300 as
compared 17,800 previous week
and 19,300 a year ago. Slaughter
steers approximately 33 percent
of weeks supply, heifers 37
percent, cows 8 percent, and
feeders 21 percent. Prices on fed
steers and heifers forced
downward on Monday in
reflection of lowered carcass
quotations previous week.
However, most of early down
turns regained in active midweek
session as carcass prices again
pointed upward. In addition, the
latest ‘cattle on feed’ report was
apparently interpreted as mildly
bullish by most trade interests.
Best steer demand centered on
choice 1000-1125 pounds and
many heifer buyers preferred
900-975 pound weights with an
increased awareness of
‘wastiness’. Some plants will
observe the Veteran’s Day
holiday on October 23, while
others will postpone the holiday
until a later date.
