2001. Receipts; 216,000; last week
210,300; year ago 231,300. Feeder steers
and heifers sold steady to 3.00 lower this
week, according to USDA Livestock and
Grain Market News Service. A few
places in the winter wheat country of the
Southwest steady to 2.00 higher. Calf
country of the Southeast remains very
erratic and as much as 10.00 lower this
week after being as much as 10.00 higher
last week. Increased receipts the past
week has indicated the beginning of the
late summer and early fall calf run as a
larger percentage now weighing under
600 lbs. Consumer beef demand suffer
ing from a sagging economy. Cattle
slaughter well under a year ago but the
finished market continues to work lower.
Direct trade 2.00 lower this week, mostly
66.00 and 106.00 in the beef. Boxed beef
cutouts lower again this week with
heavy carcasses a burden on the trade

MAKE US YOUR WASTE HANDLING HEADQUARTERS
slaughter cattle and the kill was over 700
thousand. Year to date beef production
down 4 percent. Hog slaughter over two
million head this week. After corn pro
duction figures were revised upward,
price losses were substantial with off rail
country elevators bidding under 1.75 per
bushel. Live cattle future quotes dropped
again today and far-out months hit the
hardest with nothing past April of next
year over 68.00.
Today’s Cattle On Feed report had
numbers at 101 percent but September
placements down 20 percent. This pat
tern has prevailed for the past several
months but with reduced slaughter turn
around time and clean up of liberal front
end supplies prolonged. Downturns in
the feeder cattle market and the econ
omy may look harsh but they had
reached all time record high levels.
Supply this week 31 percent over 600 lbs.
