Packers were in need of im

quirements and responded to
small early week
marketings by pushing
slaughter steer and heifer
prices up sharply. Although
marketings and slaughter
remained moderate,
packers turned cautious

Some local packers con
tinued out of the market due
to plant renovation and
vacations. Slaughter steers
made up approximately 45
per cent of the total weeks
