For more information, please contact; George Vutrey, R.D. 2, Dallastown, PA Ph0ne:(717)244-7307 Dressing percentages have shown minor improvement as continued cloudy, wet weather plagues our trade area. Cme deliveries this week included 3 V loads of Slaughter Steers 52 loads of Feeders. There was little buying interest to fill cme loads as most deliveries originated and delivered by producers. The first substantial drop in dressed beef for past 4 months (110.00 down to 107.00 at mid-week). Cattle buyer demand centered on stronger weight 700- 900 lb. carcasses while hog men centered their demand on 200-230 lb. as hog weights, unlike cattle, are above normal.
