Cows steady to .50 higher, advance on Utility and Commercial. Bulls steady. Fed cattle prices advanced for the sixth consecutive week under a good demand from most interests. Aside from Monday, overall finish was ordinary, with many cattle falling into the top good to average choice range. This is a direct result of a willingness by Feeders to market cattle as soon as is practical. Some erosion present in dressed beef trade at midweek was not reflected in live price levels, as available Wednesday supply moderate and some buyers forced to fill immediate slaughter needs. Steers made up 51 pet. of the week’s receipts; Heifers 33 pet.; Cows 8 pet.; Feeders 6 pet. four day receipts 12145; last week 11384; year ago 13542.
