CATTLE CALVES
THIS WEEK 2708 1557
LAST WEEK 2539 1704
LAST YEAR 2277 1608
CATTLE: Compared to last week,
slaughter steers sold steady to .50 lower.
Holstein steers were in very light supply
this week, with the few available trading
mostly steady. Slaughter heifer receipts
continue to be light, therefore a market
trend was not established. Breaking and
boning cows sold mostly steady, weak
ening late in the week. Slaughter bulls
sold mostly steady, with prices firming up
at the end of the week on a good run and
demand. The direct feedyards in the
Southern Plains continue to hold out this
week as the Northern yards have already
moved some cattle 1.00-2.00 lower on a
dressed basis, at mostly 99.00. The few
live sales that have been reported are
ranging from 60.00-65.00, however with a
weighted average ranging from mostly
62.00- 63.00, steady money this Week
would be a victory. An abundance of com
petitive proteins remain on the market,
with butcher hogs finally breaking
through the 20.00 barrier after a two week
