Thursday, January 17
Closing prices on
slaughter steers were 50-1.00
lower, and heifers closed 50-
75 cents lower with greatest
decline unusally on con
signments with large per
centage yield grade 4. Cows
were firm to 50 higher and
bulls firm.
Fed cattle prices came
under considerable down
ward pressure in reflection
of a bearish carcass trade,
and the general atmosphere
was one of caution. Yield
grade continued to be a
major price-determining
factor as the price dif
ferential between yield
grade 3 and yield grade 4
carcasses still ranged 7.00-
9.00 per cwt. In addition,
many cattle earned a
moderate amount of mud
which was further
aggravated by a mid-week
rain. There was a fairly
liberal percentage Choice
steers and heifers on offer
although many were mixi
3-4 yield grade.
Slaughter steers made up
approximately 47 percent;
heifers 33 percent; cows 14
percent and feeders 6 per
cent.

Brown egg layers used to be only economically housed in
litter-floor houses. The DeKalb Warren Sex Sal-Link has
broken through that tradition of discrimination. They are
excellent producers in cage operations as well.
