Slaughter Steers
predominantly 3 were
mostly steady for the week,
while consignments with a
noticeable percentage 4
closed weak to .50 lower.
Heifers were steady to firm,

Four Day Receipts this
week 12,500; Last week

Selectivity was the
keynote of a cautious and
deliberate steer trade as
yield grade was frequently
the major pnce-determining
factor; this was a reflection
of the 16.0018.00 price dif
ferential between yield
grade 3 carcasses and yield
grade 4, which is among the
greatest of record. A
somewhat reduced supply of
Heifers met with good
demand. The overall finish
of the Steer and Heifer
supply was quite attractive
with a liberal percentage
Choice, although many
consignments were Mixed 3-
