Good buyer demand and stronger dressed beef markets prompting the mild up turn. Packers in the last stages of cleaning up the contract cattle they have been drawing on for most of the month, and this im proved demand. Buyers still very selective, seeking those cattle promising higher percentage of choice carcasses on the rail, as the current spread between choice and good carcasses is $13.00-16.00 per cwt. Slaughter cows finished the week 1.00 higher. Slaughter bulls closed 2.00-3.00 higher. No recent test on feeder cattle to establish a trend. Estimated 5 day receipts of cattle this week 4,700 compared to actuals last week of 4,475 and 6,450 last year. Slaughter steers ac counted for 51 percent of receipts this week, slaughter heifers 31 percent, slaughter cows 12 per cent, feeder cattle 5 percent.
