CATTLE: Closing prices
on slaughter steers 1.00
lower, instances 1.25 off.
Heifers closed 1.00-1.50
lower, some instances 1.75-
2.00 off late. Cows were 1.00-
1.50 lower and bulls steady.
Fleshy two-way feeder
steers sold fully 1.00 lower.
Three day receipts 12,600
compared 13,090 for four
days last week and 15,080 a
year ago.
The fed cattle trade was
generally bearish following
the long Memorial Day
weekend, and prices
declined sharply in reflec
tion of a downtrendmg
trade. Trading was
Visually a slow, deliberate
affair as buyers sought to
maintain an acceptable ratio
between live prices and
current carcass realizations.
One major buying interest
was still off the market for
the , entire period. The
downturn in live prices was
often eased somewhat by
increased waterfills
resulting from warm, humid
weather. The overall finish
of the steer supply was
fairly attractive with a fairly
liberal percentage choice
and several loads Choice and
Prune. Much of the heifer
supply was Good to Average-
Choice. Slaughter steers
made up approximately 47
pet and heifers 33 pet. Cows
comprised 12 pet and feeders
7 pet.
