Omaha Weekly Wednesday, July 11 Report Supplied by USDA Slaughter steers and heifer prices trended 50 higher for the week, with some heifer sales 1.00 up.

Supplies of these kinds ran somewhat larger than last week. Cows 1.00-2.00 higher. Bulls 1.00 higher. Estimated 5 day receipts 9700, actuals last week 5453 and last year 10659.
