Al3-UacMt*r Fif'i, Saturday, March 29,1M0 Livestock market an Omaha Cattle Thursday, March 27 Report supplied by USDA Midweek prices on slaughter steers were mostly 1.50 lower and heifers were 1.25-1.50 lower. Cows closed 1.50-2.50 lower and bulls were 1.00 lower. Four Day Receipts This Week: 10,000; Last Week: 9,600; Year Ago: 12,600. The fed cattle trade followed much the same pattern as the previous week. General trading was again bearish despite the need of packers for cattle as movement of carcass beef continued on the dull side. Most buying interests were selective and competed for only minimum numbers; the daily rate of slaughter was still of modest proportions. Feeder buyers were for the most part not competitive for two-way steers as futures prices also broke sharply. The small supply included a fair percentage choice steers and heifers although many still earned some mud. Steers made up ap prozunately 46 pet. and heifers 30 pet. Cows com pneed 11 pet. and feeders 10 pet. STEERS: Load Choice and Prime 3 with end 4 1215 lbs. 66.10, three loads Choice 3 1203-1276 lbs 66.00, load Choice and Prime 4 1420 lbs 64 50.
