Market courtesy of PDA. Omaha Cattle Thursday, October 19,1978 Compared with the previous week’s close: clos ing prices .on slaughter steers and heifers were steady to weak although trading was often a selective affair. Cows'closed weak to .50 lower and bulls were .50-1.00 higher. Four day receipts to 10,700 as compared to 13,500 previous week and 15,500 a year ago. The fed cattle trade again followed an ir regular course. Despite a modest Monday supply, prices were forced downward in reflection of a sharply declining carcass trade late the previous week. However, most of the early downturn was regained on later sessions in rather forc ed trading as marketings continued below normal and most buying interests were in need of cattle for im mediate requirements. Trading was~ usually characterized by an air of caution and selectivity with best demand for choice and prime 1050-1300 lb. steers and same grade 925-1050 lb. heifers with a minimal number of yield grade 4 animals. Harvest operations were in full swing throughout the area and often claimed first priority over cattle marketing. Slaughter steers made up approximately 32 per cent, ■Heifers 23 per cent, cows 7 per cent, and feeders 36 per cent.
