Omaha Cattle
Thursday, February 22
Compared to previous week’s

steers approximately 40 percent,
fairly liberal percentage Choice
and a modest volume High-
Choice and Prime, heifers 40
percent, cows 10 percent, feeders
7 percent Steer prices weakened
slightly on the opening session as
early demand tempered by a
Monday non-slaughter holiday in
many plants but this fully
recovered in later trading.
Moderate supplies well
distributed over the trading
period. Mud continued to pose a
major problem and many cattle
were discounted 50-1.25 because
of the expected lower dressing
percentages and the average cost
of all slaughter steers and heifers
were estimated to be lowered at a
minimum 50c per hundred weight
by these discount.
