THIS WEEK LAST WEEK LAST YEAR CATTLE: Compared to last week's closing prices, slaughter steers and heifers closed 1.00-I.sohigher with a progressive ly higher market that started early Mon day. The fat cattle supply and quality was slightly improved from last week. Prices ate strong and 70.00 is no longer the mea suring stick between Choice and high Choice or Prime quality, as average cattle routinely break the barrier. Dressed beef sales improved this week, even though turkey is sure to be on everyone's mind for the coming holidays. Western feedlot cattle sold 1.00-2.00 higher from 70.00-71.00 and 111.00-113.00. Local Holstein steers turned active on Thursday and prices ended 1.00-2.00 higher. Slaugh ter cows also closed 1.00-2.00 higher with the best demand for heavy fleshy cows (less than 85 pet lean). Slaughter bulls fin ished weak, despite trading higher on Mon day. Supply included 37 percent slaughter steers, 5 percent slaughter heifers, 41 per cent slaughter cows, 5 percent bulls, and 12 percent feeders.
