Omaha Cattle Wed., Nov. 22,1978 Compared with previous week’s close: closing prices on slaughter steers were .50- .75 higher than limited trading late previous week, or 1.00-1.25 higher than, at midweek. Heifers closed firm to .25 higher. Cows were .50-1.00 higher and bulls sold fully steady. Good demand was the keynote of the pre- Thanksgiving trade on slaughter cattle, and prices advanced for the second successive week. Most in terests came into the period with moderate live in ventories on hand and were in need of cattle to meet immediate requirements despite the ’non-slaughter holiday. Weight was not usually a major price determining factor so long as the consignment did not carry a large percentage of yield grade 4 animals. The overall finish was again quite attractive with a liberal percentage choice and a moderate volume choice and prime steers made up approximately 38 pet, heifers 39 pet, cows 11 pet and feeders 10 pet.
