Through midweek, prices
on slaughter steers were
1.50-2.00 higher. Heifers clos
ed mostly .50 higher. Cows
were .50-1.00 higher and
bulls firm to 1.00 higher.
Four day receipts 15,200
compared 9,200 last week
and 13,500 a year ago.
The upward spiral in fed
cattle prices continued even
in the face of expanded
marketings, although the
current advance was less
spectacular than the
previous week. The upturn in
live trading was supported
by sharply higher prices for
carcass beef at the
level. Demand
was good by most buying in
terest, and further
stimulaton was added by
commodity buyers seeking
cattle suitable for futures
deliveries. There was also
good inquiry for cattle to be
slaughtered at points outside
the immediate Ohama area.
