Thursday, Sept. 23
Report supplied by USDA
Compared to previous week’s
close, Slaughter Steers and Heifers
ended the week 2.00-2.50 lower,
instances 3.00 down. Cows fully
1.00 lower. Bulls 1.00-2.00 lower.
Declines of 4.00-5.00 in carcass
trading. Liberal Slaughter rates
and more than adequate salable
receipts were all factors con
tributing to the week’s sharp
downturn. Yield grade 2 and 3
enjoyed the best demand, as
numbers of Yield Grade 4 con
tinued to increase and carcass
discounts on these kinds ran at
12.00-14.00 per cwt. Overall quality
fairly good and numbers of
lightweight “short-feds”
decreased from previous weeks.
Steers comprised 35 pet. of the
weeks receipts; Heifers 31 pet..
Cows 6 pet.; Feeders 27 pet. Four
Day Receipts 9551, Week Ago 9818,
