THIS WEEK 1879 1704
LAST WEEK 1931
LAST YEAR
CATTLE: Compared to last week’s
closing prices, slaughter steers and heif
ers closed .50-1.00 lower. The market re
fuses to find any stability and luckily
local finished cattle supplies have been
light, or else prices could slump even
lower. Dressed beef values continue to
hold around the 113.00 level with good
movement, but Western feeders have
gotten into bind by putting off the selling
of their showlists for the past several
weeks. Packers now have the leverage,
which could lengthen this market slump.
Feedlots refused lower bids again this
week with only a few sales reported in
Nebraska by Friday morning from
65.00-65.50 live and mostly 104.00
dressed. Some cash corn bids are as low
as 1.40 per bushel in the Midwest, but
the gloomy fat cattle market has finally
brought on the first sign of weakness in
Western feeder cattle prices.
Local Holstein steers managed to
trade steady this week with good
demand. Slaughter cows sold 1.00
higher, but slaughter bulls continue to
back off of their highs and closed 1.00-
1.50 lower. Supply included 40 pet
slaughter steers, 5 pet slaughter heifers,
43 pet slaughter cows, 5 pet slaughter
bulls, with the balance mostly feeders.
