Cattle
July 12,1979
Through midweek, prices
on slaughter steers were .50
.75 lower and Heifers .75-1.00
lower, however limited late
sales of Choice 3 Steers and
Heifers were near steady
Cows were 2.004.00 lower
and bulls weak to 1.00 lower
Four day receipts 15,900
compared 10,000 for three
days last week and 14,600 a
year ago.
Fed Cattle prices were
forced downward in early
trading under the combined
influence of rather liberal
marketings and a lower
trend in a slow-moving
carcass trade. Only a portion
of the early decline was
regained in midweek trading
as supplies contracted, and
carcass prices firmed, but
closing trade was active.
Yield Grade was often a
major price-determining
factor with best demand for
choice yield grade 3. The
overall finish of the Steer
and Heifer supply was again
attractive with a liberal
percentage Choice although
many were mixed Yield
Grade 3 and 4, and several
consignments predominant
