Closing prices on
Slaughter Steers and Heifers
were 50-75 cents higher.
Cows were 1.00-2.00 lower in
a generally slow trade, bulls
firm.
Four day receipts 16,100
compared 16,000 previous
week and 14,800 a year ago!
The fed cattle trade followed
a somewhat irregular course
during the week, but early
demand was generally good
even on a Monday run of 7500
head, aside from a few loads
3-5 1325-1600 lb§. steers. Most
interests were in need of
cattle for immediate
< requirements and the upturn
in live prices was not sup
ported by a corresponding
advance in carcass prices
through midweek. Steer
prices weakened slightly on
Monday, but the early
downturns were more than
offset in an aggressive
midweek trade. Yield grade
was a much greater price -
determining factor than
weight, with most interests
seeking lots with a minimum
of Yield Grade 4. Steers
made up approximately 32
pet. of the weeks total and
heifers 23 pet., a liberal
percentage choice included.
Cows comprised 11 pet. and
Feeders 32 pet.
