This makes 5 consecutive weeks that the majority of the reported sales were higher. The price spread on yearlings and short yearlings has narrow ed. Many places there is only a 6.00 per hundred weight difference between 600 and 950 steers. Feedlots are aggressively attempting to keep a high pen occupancy rate for most efficient operations. This is difficult due to short supplies as placement numbers continue to run fifteen to twenty percent below a year ago according to the past few Cattle on Feed Reports. Cattle feed ers are putting out more money to obtain starting materials and other costs are also soaring. During this period yearling prices are up 3.00 to 4.00 dollars and com prices have jumped around .25 cents per bushel. December futures closed today at 68.75 leaving very little hedging margin. Drought conditions continue to become more severe and wide spread. Our econo my is not a ball of fire as each week sees more big companies filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Year to date beef production is up four percent from a year ago due primarily to heavy carcass weights. Fin ished cattle held steady this week at 63.00 dollars live and 99.00 dollars in the beef, but cutouts were lower late in the week. A year ago slaughter cattle were quoted at 70.00.
