LAST WEEK
LAST YEAR
CATTLE: Compared to Tuesday,
slaughter steers and heifers sold steady.
Trading was moderately active and a fair
amount of the supply was made up of
heavy weight cattle (over 1475 lbs), where
discounts were considerable. Holstein
steers sold steady to weak. The slaughter
cow market was weak, as most packets
must hold their cows over the long
weekend. Slaughter bulls were steady.
Supply included 45 percent slaughter
steers and 36 percent cows.
