Omaha Weekly
Thursday, Sept. 4
Report Supplied by USDA
A higher trend was registered on
the close for all classes of
slaughter cattle at the Omaha
livestock market terminal this
week. Steers and heifers closed 50
cents higher, cows steady to 1.00
higher and bulls firm to 1.00
higher. Trading on all classes was
marked by good buyer demand as
most were in need of some cattle
for immediate needs. Even though
some weakness developed in
dressed beef channels sellers
maintained a firm hold on cattle
ready for slaughter and buyers
were unable to force prices lower
to come in line with dressed
realizations.
Estimated 4 day receipts this
week 4,000 compared to actual 5
