Livestock market and auction news Omaha Weekly Thursday, April 18 Report supplied by USDA Slaughter Steers and Heifers prices moved sharply downward this session with closing levels mostly 2.50 lower than a week ago. At week’s end, prices stood at their lowest points since October 1982. Broad downturns in dressed beef realizations proved the major factor in the lower trade with most interests quite bearish at week’s end. An increased number of steers weighing over 1300 lbs. took the brunt of the decline when outlets narrowed for this kind.
