November 17,1977 -Cattle-Compared with previous week’s close- Closing prices on Slaughter Steers were mostly 50C lower instances 75C off. Heifers Closed 25- 50C lower. Cows were 50-1.50 lower and Bulls 1.00-2.00 lower. Four day receipts 13,900 as compared 15,400 previous week and 16,100 a year ago. Fed Cattle prices were forced downward m pre- Thanksgiving trading as movement of carcass beef at the wholesale level was generally slow in the face of stiff competition from poultry products for the approaching holiday. Live trading was often slow as most interests were com petitive only for minimum requirements and some acquired a moderate portion of their volume from other areas. Much of the steer and Heifer supply was good to average-choice and some carried a moderate amount of mud as the result of recent rains. Slaughter Steers made up approximately 27 PCT of the weekly total and Heifers 28 PCT. Cows con tributed 7 PCT and Feeders 35 PCT.
