CATTLE SUMMARY -
Week ending Sept 7, 2001.
Receipts this week 169,800,
last week 160,200; year ago
139,000. Feeder steers and
heifers sold mostly steady
again this week, according
to USDA Livestock and
Grain Market News Service.
A few more numbers sold on
the plus side than lower as
calf country of the Southeast
was steady to 2 00 higher.
Their marketings were
sharply under a year ago as
late summer rams put some
life in the pastures in the
Southeast and Southwest.
However, some other places
showing seasonally in
creased receipts even with
the holiday this week The
slaughter market was a little
weaker this week but still
mostly 70.00 live and 111 00
m the beef Box beef cutouts
made a comeback and
closed on top of 118.00. Def
initely, best demand for
Choice and this grade sell
ing at an 8.50 premium to
Select. The good news in the
wholesale beef trade this
week was the huge volume
that moved. Consumer beef
demand remains healthy,
despite further losses m the
financial markets. Nearby
futures at a 2.50 premium to
the live trade and February
at 75.75 does not hedge out
at current yearling prices.
