Omaha Cattle
Compared with last week’s
close: closing price on slaughter
steers and heifers were 25-50 c
higher than the previous mid
week peak and 75-1.00 above late
sales. Cows were 1.00-1.50 higher
and bulls 50-1.00 higher. Feeder
cattle were 50-1.50 higher.
Four day receipts only 9,600 as
compared 1,500 previous week
and 10,700 a year ago. Slaughter
steers approximately 34 percent,
heifers 32 percent, cows 17
percent and feeders 13 percent.
Despite the apparent bearishness
associated with announcement of
the phase IV Economic
Stabilization program fed cattle
prices continued to work upward.
Market ready cattle were in
strong hands and the discontent
of feeders was reflected in a
general reluctance to dispose of
available supplies while they still
nurtured hopes for relief from
ceiling limitations. All buying
interests came into the week in
need of cattle for immediate
requirements and sharply
curtailed marketings fell far
short of meeting immediate
needs even though some plants
were shut down completely and
reduced quotas were in effect in
many others.
