CATTLE: Compared to Tuesday,
slaughter steers sold .50-1.00 lower.
Kosher demand was light, resulting in
small premiums for the top quality
cattle. Considering the down market,
weights were surprisingly light with nu
merous lots of two-way cattle. Holstein
steers were active and traded steady to
.50 higher, while slaughter heifers were
only lightly tested. The Slaughter cows
sold .50-1.00 higher to end the week
mostly steady. Slaughter bulls were 1.00
higher. Supply included 40 percent
slaughter steers and 40 percent cows.

CATTLE; Compared to last week’s
closing prices, slaughter steers and heif
ers closed .50-1.00 lower. Receipts were
light this week as farmers were reluctant
to market their cattle following last
week’s sharply lower prices. Despite the
smaller offerings, prices continued to fall
with very light demand from the area

week’s trade was the unusually large
number of light cattle that were sold. A
good portion of the supply weighed
under 1200 lbs, which is hard to under-
