Omaha Cattle
Thursday, October 26
Compared to previous week’s
close closing prices 1000-1125
pound slaughter steers weak to
25c lower, 1125-1300 pounds 25-50 c
lower. Heifers weak to 25c lower.
Cows were 1.00-1.50 lower. Bulls
steady. Modest feeder supply
steady with outgo of fleshy 950-
1075 pound two-way steers
noticeably reduced from most
recent weeks.
Four day receipts 15,700 as
compared 18,200 previous week
and 16,900 a year ago. Slaughter
steers approximately 30 percent
and heifers 39 percent with
liberal percentage Choice and
moderate volume High-Choice
and Prime. Cows 9 percent and
feeders near 20 percent. Prices
on slaughter steers forced
downward as a consequence of
lowered carcass quotations. Best
demand centered on 1000-1125
pound weights in reflection of
1.00-1.50 differential between 500-
700 pound carcasses and those in
the 800-900 pound bracket and as
much as 4.00-5.00 on some yield
grade 4 and 5. Most interests
entered the week with fairly
liberal inventories on hand and
the slaughter period was
disrupted by a non-slaughter
Veteran’s Holiday in many plants
on Monday.
STEERS: Forepart of week,
twelve loads High-Choice and
Prime 1049-1173 pounds 2-4 35.40-
35.85. At midweek, six loads same
grade 1082-1186 3-4 35.25-35.35,
two loads 1356-1381 4 34.75-35.00.
Choice 975-1262 2-4 closed 34.00-
35.00, those at latter price mainly
1000-1125 pounds. Mixed Good
and Choice 950-1225 33.50-34.00
occasionally 34.25. Good 32.50-
33.75, Holsteins 32.50-33.50 during
week. Standard and Low-Good
31.50-32.50.
Average cost slaughter steers
first three days 34.77 average
weight 1142 pounds as compared
34.52 and 1138 pounds previous
week and 32.42 and 1101 pounds a
year ago.
HEIFERS: Early, twelve loads
High-Choice and Prime 925-1076
pounds 3-4, 34.35-34.50. At mid
week, five loads High-Choice and
Prime 935-1094 3-4 34.10-34.25.
Choice 825-1050 closed 33.25-34.00,
load 1158 pounds 4-5 32.50. Mixed
Good and Choice 750-975 32.25-

Standard and Good 29.50-30.50.
