Closing prices on
slaughter steers were mostly
steady with the previous
midweek, but weak to .50
lower than limited late sales.
Heifers were steady. Cows
Closed steady to .50 lower
and buls were steady, in
stances .50-1.00 higher.
Four Day Receipts 17,200;
compared 11,800 week ago;
and 15,700 a year ago.
Fed cattle supplies were
moderately expanded
overmost recent weeks, but
marketings were very well
distributed over the trading
period. Buyers were fairly
aggressive early for num
bers to meet immediate
requirements and prices
edged upward on fairly
liberal supplies; however,
midweek trading was quite
uneven as most interest
sought to match inventories
with the upcoming holiday
period. In addition, carcass
trading dulled at midweek as
immediate needs were met.
The overall finish of the
steer and heifer supply was
attractive with a liberal
percentage Choice and a
moderate volume Choice
and Prime although many
consignments were mixed 3-
4 and some carried a modest
amont of mud. Steers made
up approximately 42 pet and
heifers 32 pet. Cows com
prised 11 pet and feeders 12
pet, part of these fleshy
steers 1050-1125 lbs. suitable
