Omaha Cattle
Thursday, January 10
Compared with last weeks
close - slaughter steers
closed 5.508.50 higher and
heifers 6.00-7.00 higher
marking the sharpest one
week advance since ceiling
limitations were per
manently removed following
World War II in 1946. Cows
however, closed 3.004.00
lower and bulls were fully
steady. Feeder cattle sold
4.008.00 higher in reflection
of advancing steer and
heifers prices.
Four day receipts 20,400 as
compared 13,800 previous
holiday week and 23,900 a
year ago. Slaughter steers
approximately £4 percent,
heifers 35 percent, cows 10
percent and feeders 15
percent. Overall finish steer
and heifer supply attractive
with large percentage
Choice and moderate volume
higb-Choice and Prime, most
relatively clean. For fifth
successive week, steer and
heifer prices soared upward
under stimulation provided
by continued moderate
slaughter under federal
inspection and a sky
rocketing _ beef trade.
Current price levels were
some 12.00-14.00 above the
low time recorded as
recently as early December
1973 with some 1250-1400
pound yield grade 4 steers
15.00-16.00 higher. During the
current period weight was
usually not a major price
determining factor.
Virtually all buying in
terests were in need of cattle
for immediate requirements
with bad weather conditions
contributing to the urgency.
The upward price spiral has
virtually eliminated cattle
export to Canada but loss of
this outlet has been offset in
large measure by an
aggressive feeder demand.
