compared 18,000 previous week
and 16,200 year ago. Slaughter
steers made up approximately 39
percent heifers 39 percent, cows
11 percent and feeders 10 percent.
Fed cattle prices edged
cautiously upward despite a
generally unresponsive carcass
trade at the wholesale level
preceding the Thanksgiving
holiday. Buyers were still quite
selective with demand for steers
over 1150 pounds an erratic hit
or-miss proposition. There was
only mild inquiry for Canadian
shipment. Marketings
moderately decreased and well
distributed over the trading
period. Some packers reported
difficulty in securing refrigerator
trucks for movement of carcass
beef. The overall finish was again
quite attractive with a liberal
percentage Choice and a
moderate volume high-Choice
and Prime.
Average cost slaughter steers
first three days 39.89 average
weight 1124 pounds as compared
40.05 and 1124 pounds previous
week and 33.33 and 1127 pounds a
year ago.
