sharply higher for the week. Prices
both classes 3.00-5.00 higher than
Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, March 1,1986-Al5
last week’s closing levels. A
dramatic turn around at direct

this week. Slaughter cows and
bulls fully steady.

cattle this week 6,700 compared to
actuals last week of 6,364 and 7,231
last year. Slaughter Steers ac

this week, slaughter heifers 47
percent, slaughter cows 8 percent
and feeder cattle 1 percent.
