Omaha Cattle Thursday, Feb. 3 Report supplied by USDA Weekly 51 - Cattle compared to previous week’s close Slaughter Steers and Heifers ended the week 1.50-2.00 higher. Cows and Bulls steady. Although most of the week’s advance came on Wednesday’s storm shortened receipts, prices had been scaling upwards since Monday. Advances in the dressed beef trade, light salable receipts and curtailed slaughter rates (storm related) all factors con tributing to the strong buyer demand and market upturn. Most cattle carried some degree of mud, resulting in dressing percentages that were often dissapointing to the buying side. Numbers of YG 4’s presented a minimal problem, while percentages of “short-fed” kinds noted at the recently in creased rate. STEERS; load Choice 2-4 near 1250 lbs. 61.75.
