Report Supplied By USD A
Through midweek slaughter
steers and heifers ranged steady to
50 cents higher than previous
week’s close. Cows steady to 50
cents higher. Bulls steady.
A broad demand on steers
suitable for C.M.E. Delivery or
further feeding not only prevented
an anticipated break in live prices,
but provided impetus for some
gams. A large percentage of the
available steer supply found
outlets outside normal channels,
forcing regular market interests to
compete briskly for the balance of
the steers and for the heifers.
Overall finish continues fair, ie a
mix of attractive offermgs and
weather stressed stock, but in
general most cattle appear to have
had adequate feeding periods.
Steers comprised 45 percent of
the week’s receipts: Heifers 38
percent, cows 6 percent; feeders 10
percent. Three day receipts 9454,
last week 12306, year ago 10170.
