January 4,1979
CATTLE: Compared with
previous week’s close -
Slaughter steers closed 50
cents to 75 cents higher,
heifers steady to instances 25
cents higher. Cows closed
fully 3.00 higher and bulls
I. to 2.00 higher.
Three day receipts 10,400
compared 11,350 last week’s
holiday shortened period and
11, a year ago.
Much of the price advance
on steers occured on small
midweek receipts and
heifers recovered from an
early price decline. Wednes
day price upturns were also
supported by advances in the
dressed beef trade. The
heifer outlet was not as wide
locally, due to some difficul
ty in moving carcass beef
eastward as a result of re
cent snow storms, mud con
tinued to be a prevalent
trade condition, cattle with a
large percentage yield grade
4 also remained under
pressure. There was a fairly
liberal percentage choice,
steers and- heifers. Steers
made up approximately 42
per cent of the weeks total
receipts, heifers 33 per cent,
400.00-
