which made livestock movement
difficult, prices were forced
sharply upward but part of the
early advance was erased on
later sessions as marketings
expanded. Canadian buyers

primary price determining
factors. Despite need for cattle,
most buyers reluctant to acquire
1200-1325 pound yield grade 4-5
steers in view of a price dif
ferential ranging up to 15.00 or
more on these carcasses as
compared with 600-700 pounds
