week and 13,800 a year ago.
The fed cattle trade declined
for second successive week
with trading again following
a rather cautious and
selective pattern. Buyers
were quite number conscious
on late rounds as demand
geared to accomodate the
approaching long non
slaugbter weekend and
hours in some plants were
reduced additionally in view
of limited available supplies
and poor slaughter results.
There was a slight increase
in the volume of choice
steen early with several
loads high-choice and prime
included but the bulk of the
steer and heifer run again
fell in the good to average
choice category. Steers
approximately 50 pet.,
heifen 31 pet., coin 15 pet.

week, several loads choice
and prime 1170-1362 lbs. yield
grade 3-4 55.75-56.50, choice

casionally 52.25-52.50. Good
44.50-48.50. Standard and
low-good 37.00-42.00.

One of the world’s most
valuable forage crops,
alfalfa is widely recognized
for its ability to improve
soils, as well as produce
heavy yields of high quality
