Steers made up 47 pet. of week’s

term slaughter needs from salable
receipts numbering 21 pet. fewer
than last week. The character of
the receipts remained consistent
with recent sessions, as 1050 lb.
and down steers and 950 lb. and
down heifers, carrying large
percentages of good grades,
present in increased numbers;
thus best demand again focused on
heavier choice offerings. Slaughter
cows were in good demand and
