Broiler-Fryer Market
Ready to cook movement good
to large retailers; only fair to
distributive outlets. Slaughter
schedules fairly heavy though
occasional plants curtailing kill
because of lighter than desired
weights. Less than trucklot
prices ranged 4-6 cents higher on
both plant and US Grade A. Live
supplies adequate overall. Un
dertone very firm.
Negotiated trucklot prices 2-3
lb. ready to cook broiler-fryers

Woman Designs Cars
Mrs. Mimi Ornes, the first
woman designer hired by
Ford Motor Co. Dearborn,
Mich., said that it was easier
for her to get the job because
she was a woman, but that
now the pressure is much
more than if she were
a man doing the same job.
Hired in 1970 because the
company “was looking for a
woman,” her favored status
quickly changed when she
began working, she says.
The attractive designer be
lieves the pressure is good for
her and her career. “Being
watched is helpful because it
keeps you constantly on your
toes. This is especially im
portant in the automotive de
sign field because of the com
petition.”

Omaha Cattle
Thursday, August 2
Closing prices slaughter steers
2.50-3.50 higher, some late sales
4.00 higher. Heifers 1.25-2.00
higher. Cows 3.00-3.50 higher
Bulls 50-1.00 higher. Feeder
cattle 2.00-3.00 higher, supply
largely fleshy two-way steers.
Four day receipts 9,000 as
compared 9,400 previous week
and 15,400 a year ago. Slaughter
steers approximately 32 percent,
Heifers 29 percent, mainly Good
to average-Choice, moderate
volume high-Choice and Prime.
Cows 17 percent, feeders near 20
percent, fed cattle trade con
tinued in a state of turmoil as
prices advance* 1 sharply despite
additional plant shutdowns over
the trade area. For the first time
in recent months Canadian
buying interests were active
participants and feeder buyers
again compete aggressively for
fleshy two-way steers and to
some degree on heifers. Local
marketings were still little better
than 50 percent of normal as
feedlot operators not inclined to
dispose of available supplies
while ceiling limitations were
still in effect: meanwhile, in
dustry spokesman beseiged the
COLC for relief from Phase IV
restrictions. Some slaughterers
converted to a virtual custom
processing operation.
