August 30,1978
Cattle - Compared with the
previous week’s close -
closing prices on slaughter
steers were 5075 cents
higher, instances 1.00
higher. Heifer prices ranged
frim to 50 cents higher. Cows
were 1.001.50 lower and
bulls 501.00 lower.
Four Day Recipts 15,400 as
compared 13,500 previous
week and 14,800 a year ago.
The fed cattle trade followed
a fairly stable course even
though most buying interests
came into the period with
larger live mventones on
hand than the previous
week. Day-to-day price
changes were slightly larger
than the previous week and
were fairly well distributed
over the trading period. The
overall finish of the steer and
heifer supply was rather
attractive with a fiarly
liberal percentage Choice
and a modest volume mixed
Choice and Prime. Slaughter
Steers made up ap
proximately 42 per cent and
heifers 38 per cent cows
comprised 10 per cent and
feeder 6 per cent.
