Compared with the
previous week’s close:
closing prices on Slaughter
Steers were 50-100 higher
and Heifers closed 50-75
higher. Cows were mostly
1.00 higher, Bulls weak to
1.00 lower.
Four day receipts 12,300
compared 15,300 previous
week and 17,200 a year ago
Weather was a dominant
factor in the cattle trade as
severe storm conditions and
blocked roads over the
eastern portion of the
country virtually paralyzed
movement of the finished
product the fore part of
week. Marketings were
substantially reduced during
the period, and late supplies
were not sufficient to reflect
the improved demand as
travel conditions returned to
more nearly normal con
ditions. Despite the tran
sportation difficulties, the
rate of slaughter under
federal inspection showed
little change. The Steer and
Heifer supply locally was
only moderately attractive
with a large share Good to
Average-Choice most days.
