CATTLE: Compared to last week's
closing prices, slaughter steers sold weak
to cattle. The market seems to be In a post
holiday slump as boxed beef and futures
prices were disappointing this week. West
ern feedlots had to settle for less money,
again this week, to dose at mostly 63.00
live and 100.00- 102.00 dressed basis.
Slaughter heifers were not well tested.
Despite lower boneless beef prices, slaugh
ter cows ended the week steady to 1.00
higher and slaughter bulls dosed fully
steady. Supply included 55 percent slaugh
ter steers, 4 percent slaughter heifers, 31
percent cows, 4 percent bulls, with the
balance feeders.
