ers closed 1.00 to fully 2.00 higher with
the bulk of the advance placed on the
top quality high Choice and Prime
cattle. The market opened the week with
mild improvement and then turned
sharply higher on Thursday. Premiums
for the fancier cattle increased locally,
but this is not the norm as the spread be
tween Select and Choice carcass values
is actually becoming more narrow. The
Northeast coast niche buyers turned up
demand late in the week and left the
major packers behind. Western feedlots
traded 1.00 to mostly 2.00 higher this
week at mostly 70.00 live and 111.00
dressed. Local Holstein steers sold 1.00-
1.50 higher in active trading. Slaughter
cow prices closed 1.00-2.00 higher and
slaughter bulls finished firm. Slaughter
bulls finished steady to 1.00 lower.
Supply included 43 percent slaughter
steers, 6 percent slaughter heifers, 40
percent slaughter cows, 5 percent bulls,
with the balance feeders.
