LAST YEAR
CATTLE: Compared to last week's
closing prices; slaughter steer trading
turned very active at midweek and closed
1.50 to mostly 2.00 higher, after opening
on the weak side Monday. The market
finally flexed enough muscle to break out
of the narrow trading range that has caged
prices for months. Buyers were aggressive
for all classes of slaughter steers, after box
ed beef cut-out values broke 110.00 for
both light and heavy Choice carcasses.
Midwest fat cattle sold 1.00 higher this
week at 66.00 live and 104.00 in the beef.
Local Holstein steeis sold 1.00-1.50 higher
with good demand. Them were not encwgh
slaughter hdfers on offer late in the week
to fully test the market. Slaughter cow
prices closed .50-1.00 higher this week on
a light, but attractive offering. Slaughter
bulls ended firm to 1.00 higher. Supply
included 54 percent slaughter steers, 6 per
cent slaughter heifers, 27 percent slaughter
cows, 6 percent slaughter bulls, with the
balance made up of feeder cattle.
