Compared to last week slaughter
steers closed 1.50 to 2.00, instances
2.50 lower. Heifers 1.50 lower.
Cows 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Bulls 1.00 to
2.00 lower. Trade opened the week
slow with slaughter steers and
heifers under pressure due to a
sluggish downward skidding
carcass and box beef trade. Short
receipts at midweek provided no
support and further declines were
noted. Buyers were never
aggressive and clearance was
incomplete from day to day.
Receipts this week 2300, compared
to 2698 a week ago and 2818 a year
ago.
