CATTLE: Compared to last week’s
closing prices, slaughter steers ended the
week mixed. The fancy high Choice and
Prime quality steers sold mostly steady,
with average Choice and plainer steers
closing weak to mostly 1.00 lower. Excel
lent Kosher demand for the top quality
cattle late in the week was responsible
for the split market. The futures market
jumped on Thursday and helped West
ern prices close steady, after minimal
trading at lower levels earlier in the
week. Major feedlot areas sold fat cattle
