Midweek prices on
slaughter steers and heifers
were 1.50-2.00 lower. Cows
dose 1.00-1.50 lower and
bulls were weak.
Four day receipts this
week 12,500; last week
10,700; year ago 14,000 trade
on slaughter steers was often
slow during the period, and
buyers were selective for
quality grade, weight and
yield grade. Heifers were
somewhat more active, but
these also were subject to
rather selective inquiry.
Best demand centered
shortly on the available
supply of Choice 3 1150-1300
lbs. steers and same grade
975-1050 lbs. heifers. Most
interesting were not com
petitive for maximum
numbers in view of the poor
movement of the finished
product Marketings were
rather poorly distributed
over the trading period.
Much of the steer supply was
good to average-choice with
many consignments 1000-
1100 lbs. included, the heifer
supply included a fair
percentage choice. Steers
made up approximately 38
pet. and heifers 38 pet. Cows
comprised 10 pet. and
feeders 12 pet.
