Report supplied by USDA
Compared to Tuesday’s
4:30 report, steer beef not
tested, except Y.G. 4 mostly
1.00-2.00 higher early, not
tested late but undertone
weak. Heifer beef unsettled,
steady to 2.00 higher early
but 1.00 lower late m limited
trade. Buyers demand very
light and most choosing to
cut back on production m
face of very slow movement
of cuts and higher
replacement costs. Packers
facing the same type of
economics between live cost
and dressed realization.
Sales reported on 33 loads of
steer and heifer beef.
