Peoria Cattle
Thursday, May 7
51 Weekly Cattle Summary:
Slaughter steers through
nesday were steady to 1.00 lower
than the midpoint of last week.
Most steer decline was on loads
mixed Choice and Prime 35.
Slaughter heifers fully 1.00, in
stances 1.50 lower. Cows 3.00
lower. Bulls weak to 1.00 lower.
Trading on steers was fairly active
and demand generally good for
loads Choice 23, rather, slow on
loads YG 4 and loads mixed Choice
and Prime 35 over 1200 lbs. The
meat trade continued to make, wide
price swings and took on a sharply
iower tone on Wednesday after
trading on steers and heifers was
well underway. As a result,-
demand was much lighter on the
dose for loads mixed Choice and
Prime 35 steers. The heifer outlet
was narrowed after local plant
closed last week but the full impact
was not'measurable due to the
small volume of this class on
Wednesday. Receipts about 2300
this week as compared to 2946 a
week ago and 2840 a year ago.
