CATTLE: Compared to Tuesday,
slaughter steer sales were weak. Trading
was very spotty and any strength posted at
mid-week was erased. Demand was mostly
moderate as buyers were apprehensive to
start the bidding. Slaughter heifers were (
not well tested. Slaughter cow prices were
.50-1.00 lower and weighing conditions
were definitely in favor of the seller.
Slaughter bulls sold mostly steady. Supply
included 44 percent slaughter steers and 35
percent slaughter cows.
