Omaha Cattle
Thursday, November 30
Compared to previous week’s
close three successive days of
higher prices left the closing
trade on slaughter steers 1.25-1.75
higher, instances 2.00 higher.
Heifers were mostly 2.00 higher.
Cows 1.00-1.50 higher, bulls fully
50c higher. Fleshy feeder steers
1.00-1.25 higher.
Four day receipts 16,600 as
compared with 17,000 previous
week and 19,900 a year ago.
Slaughter steers approximately
42 percent, heifers 40 percent,
cows 9 percent, and feeders 6
percent. A sharp upward trend in
wholesale carcass prices which
initially began late the previous
week coupled with moderate
marketings to trigger a sharp
price advance in live trading.
Supplies quite well distributed
over period and most interests
entered week in need of cattle for
immediate slaughter
requirements. Good demand for
Choice 1000-1100 pounds 5334 yield
grade 2-3 for Canadian shipment
and feeder buyers again
aggressive for fleshy 950-1025
pound steers suitable for a short
turn in the feedlot. Broad demand
partially offset the sharp price
discrimination on strong weight
steers which have been most
prevalent the past few weeks.
Mud continued to be much in
evidence.

Compared with Wednesday,
prices steady to weak for steer

Veal steady, pork loins $1 higher,
