late in the week. The market seem;, to
have good stability at the current level
with supply and demand being well
matched, both locally and in the major
feedlot areas. The current hurdle is the
high cost of replacement feeders to eat
this year’s abundant crop. The price of
fat cattle is almost exactly the same as
last year at this time, yet feeder steers
are selling at least 10.00 cwt higher.
Western fat cattle sold steady to 1.00
higher this past week at mostly 66.00 live
and 105.00 dressed. Local Holstein steers
traded fully steady with much more
competition than last week. Slaughter
cows closed 1.00-1.50 higher on
midweek gains, while slaughter bulls re
mained active and finished steady.
Supply included 40 percent slaughter
steers, 6 percent slaughter heifers, 39
percent slaughter cows, 4 percent
slaughter bulls, with the balance feeders.
