Slaughter steers and heifers
closed 2.50-3.00 higher under good
demand due in part to severe
winter storms in central Nebraska
and western Kansas, which
prevented packers from shipping
previously purchased numbers.
Higher prices in carcass and boxed
beef channels coupled with
weather worked to sharply ad
vance live prices this week.
Slaughter cows steady. Slaughter
