Previous Week’s Close
Closing prices on
slaughter steers and heifers
2.50-3.00 higher. Cows firm to
50 cents higher than late
previous week and bulls
firm.
Fed cattle prices advanc
ed sharply on an 1150 head
Monday run as weekend
snow and ice storms virtual
ly paralyzed livestock move
ment. The early upturn was
generally .maintained on
later sessions as road condi
tions improved and supplies
expanded. However, most
buying interests were selec
tive on the late rounds and
were competitive only for
immediate requirements.
Carcass prices also advance
sharply but there too de
mand was at times of a
restricted nature. Feeder
buyers were again quite ag
gressive for two-way steers
suitable for , further finish
and some 2100 head were
returned to the feedlots.
Much of the steer and heifer
supply was good to average
choice and mud was a
prevalent condition. Steers
made up approximately 35
per cent, heifers 28 per cent,
cows 10 per cent and feeders
26 per cent.
