Omaha Weekly Thursday, Decembers, 1984 Report Supplied by USDA At the end of trading this week fed cattle prices. Ranged 50-1.00 lower than last week’s closing trade.

Overall finish continued fairly attractive. Cows and bulls steady. Estimated 5 day receipts 10,300; actuals last week 10,423 and last year 7,945.
