THIS WEEK
LAST WEEK
LAST YEAR
Compared to last week, slaughter steers
began the week trading steady to weak, only to
trade .SO-LOO higher to end the trading period.
Holstein steers followed the same pattern, kick
ing off the week with a weaker undertone, trad
ing with a firmer undertone late in the week on
improved quality. A slaughter heifer trend was
not established due to low receipts. Slaughter
cows sold .50- 1.00 lower early in the week;
however losses were recouped late in the week
as cows sold .50-1.00 higher. Slaughter bulls
sold mostly steady to instances 1.00 higher on
fairly good runs. The slaughter steer supply this
week ranged from plain to fancy, with bidding
relatively active on all types. Both Tuesday's
and Thursday's supply included some very high
quality stock, where bidding was vety active as
buyers fought to own them. Leaner type cows
continue to flood the cow markets; fortunately
demand is as good as the supply, as bidding is
still fairly active. The direct feedyards are lined
up to put another dollar on their finished cattle
this week. Early sales in the Southern Plains
show steers and heifers trading 1.00 higher at
67.00. Dressed sales were not established as of
Friday morning, although early sales indicate a
firmer undertone. Cattle producers are starting
to get some spring back in their step as the cur
rent market seems to have some positive out
look for the future. Boxed beef values continue
to be on the rise, with live cattle futures at the
CME in and out of the 70 dollar range all week.
This weeks supply included 36 percent stters, 4
percent heifers, 39 percent cows, 9 percent bulls,
with the balance feeders.
