CATTLE: Compared to Tuesday, a
fairly light run of slaughter steers sold
.50 to mostly 1.00 lower to end the week
2.00-2.50 lower. Demand was the light
est for the plainer fat cattle that usually
manage to sell near the bottom of the
Choice range, today those types were
discounted several dollars. The Holstein
steers sold weak to .50 lower and slaugh
ter heifers were not well tested. The
leaner type slaughter cows (over 85 pet
lean) sold mostly steady, but the big
fleshy cows traded weak to 1.00 lower.
Slaughter bulls sold mostly steady.
Supply included 46 percent slaughter
steers and 42 percent slaughter cows.

CATTLE; Compared to last week’s
closing prices, slaughter steers and heif
ers closed 2.00-2.50 lower. The bottom
dropped out of the fat cattle market both
locally and in the Midwest as each day of
trading brought lower prices. It seems
retailers have already stocked their
shelves for next week’s holiday and there
is no driving demand around the corner.
However, live cattle futures for June
have promised these lower price levels
for months. Northern feedlots sold cattle
2.00 lower live and 2.00-3.00 lower
dressed at 67.00 and mostly 107.00, High
Plains feedyards had yet to trade by
Friday morning but seemed destined for
the same. Local Holstein steers traded
mostly 1.50 lower. Slaughter cows sold
mostly steady with last week’s high
levels, but big fleshy cows (less than 85
pet lean) turned 1.00 lower late in the
week. The slaughter bulls continued
