Thursday, July 16
Compared to last week slaughter
steers 1.00 to 1.50 lower. Heifers .50
to 1.00 lower. Cows under pressure
late mostly 2.00 lower. Bulls steady
to weak. Trade throughout the
week slow with buyers in search of
steers and heifers m excess of 1050
and 950 lbs. The heavy supply of
steers and heifers weighing under
1050 and 950 lbs. found very light
demand and narrow outlets;
therefore, these consignments
discounted accordingly. Receipts
this week 2950 as compared to 2620 /
a week ago and 3232 a year ago.
