slaughter steers and heifers ended
this week 50 cents to mostly 1.00
ration
lower. Slaughter cows 2.004.00
lower and slaughter bulls 1.00-2.00
lower.
Prices on fed cattle were under
pressure even through day-to-day

bined with a larger slaughter total

downward pressure on market.

pressure was eased somewhat as
buyers of two-way cattle were
active participants daily. Muddy
cattle continued to show
measureable numbers and were
discounted accordingly.
