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. Supply included
200 Slaughter Cows, 4,200 Feeders
including 840 purchased private
treaty, mostly two-way steers
retruning for short term in feedlot.
