CATTLE: Compared to last week’s
closing prices, slaughter steers closed
.50- 1.00 higher. Some weakness was
noted early in the week, but prices ad
vanced on Thursday’s light offering de

Market strength came as beef packers
continue to move dressed meat swiftly
out the back door and boxed beef cut-out
values continue to inch higher. Western
feedlots traded cattle firm to fully 1.00
higher live and 1.00-2.00 higher dressed
from 74.00-75.00 and 117.00-119.00.
Local Holstein steer prices turned 1.00-
2.00 higher with a boost from Thurs
day’s attractive offering. Slaughter
heifers were only lightly tested this past
week. Slaughter cows closed .50-1.50
higher with the full advance placed on
the leaner-type cow from 85-90 pet lean.
Slaughter bulls ended the week steady to
1.00 higher. Supply included 35 percent
slaughter steers, 5 percent slaughter
heifers, 30 percent slaughter cows, 5 per
cent bulls, with the balance feeders.
