and 20.500 a year ago Slaughter
steers 27 percent, heifers 37
percent cows 11 percent and
feeders 12 percent Four month
upward spiral m fed cattle prices
continued at a sharply ac
celerated pace during week
under review Fresh upturns
stimulated by continued modest
marketings and substantially
higher prices at the wholesale
level Since low time recorded in
late November, peak price on
slaughter steers has skyrocketed
15 00 per cwt over a 17-week
period Weekend rams made
some secondary roads virtually
impassable and further worsened
already disasterous feedlot
conditions and many cattle
coming to market carried- a
heavy coating of mud Most
buying interest in need of cattle
