Weekly 51 - Cattle
Compared with last week’s
close: prices on slaughter steers
and heifers stood 75-1.50 higher
through midweek but a late
decline left prices strong to 50
cents higher. Cows were mostly
50-1.00 lower. Bulls fully steady.
Feeder cattle were 50-1.00 higher,
part of the early upturn a
reflection of higher slaughter
prices.
Four day receipts 12,600 as
compared 17,800 previous week
and 17,000 a year ago. After a
period of uneasy waiting for some
word promising relief from
present ceiling limitations on
carcass beef the live trade
spurred into action by curtailed
supplies and the apparent hopeful
assumption that at least some\
advance in prices would be /
allowed. However, much of the
early upturn was erased in late
trading in the wake of the' an
nouncement of the phase IV
program. Virtually all packing
interests came into the week
needing cattle for immediate
requirements and live prices
advanced sharply in a scramble
for numbers to maintain even
reduced slaughter quotas. The
available supply of market ready
cattle was in strong hands with
many feeders clinging to a “wait
and see” attitude.
