especially on steers
Marketings were further
curtailed and packer need
for immediate slaughter
requirements forced some
recovery. Packer demand
for Steers under 1100 lbs and
Heifers under 950 lbs. un
proved accounts allowed
continued pressure on such
steers. Slaughter Steers
made up 43 pet of the week’s
total, Heifers 29 pet; much of
the supply has good to
average Choice but an in
creased showing of Choice
