Report supplied by USDA
Midweek prices on
slaughter stems were steady
to 25 lower, instances 50 off
late. Heifers closed firm to
25 higher. Cows were 1.00-
1.50 higher, and bulls firm.
Four day receipts this
week 12,900; last week
12,500; year ago 10,400.
The fed cattle trade was
characterized by an air of
caution despite moderate
marketings, and most
buying interests were still
quite selective. Carcass
trading at times the forepart
of week reacahed a virtual
stalemate before trending
downward. Yield grade was
a major price-determining
factor as the differential
between yield grade 3 and
yield grade 4 carcasses
widened to 12.00-13.00 per
cwt, on steers. The overall
finish of the steer and heifer
supply was not particularly
attractive through midweek
with a large share Good to
average-Choice. The
Thursday run was swelled
by the arrival of the 10th
annual “T-Bone Special”
from the Audubon, lowa
area. Slaughter steers made
up approximately 40 pet and
heifers 35 pet. Cows com
prises 10 pet. and feeders 14
