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. Setbacks in the dressed beef
trade precipitated a reduction in
live prices that was held to a
minimum by a packer demand
that closely matched the available
receipts. 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. Steers comprised 40
percent of the weeks receipts,
heifers 39 percent; cows 10 per
cent; feeders 10 percent.
