Livestock market and auction news Omaha Weekly Thursday, August 29 Report Supplied by USDA Slaughter steers and heifers ranged 50-1.00 lower for the week, under a demand pattern that narrowed as the week progressed. A fairly liberal movement of cattle from direct trade points afforded buying interests the opportunity to take a firm stand to lower price levels. An unstable beef trade also kept pressure on the live market. Overall finish proved fairly at tractive and numbers of ‘over weight’ and/or ‘over-fat’ kinds modest. Slaughter cows 1.00 lower. Bulls steady. Estimated 5 day receipts 6,650; actuals last week 7,617; last year 6,975. Steers comprised 48 percent of week’s receips; heifers 41 percent; cows 7 percent, feeders 3 percent. £k CYCDUIi * FUROX-50, 50 1b...
