CATTI F Compared to Tuesday slaughter steers
sold 50 to I 00 lower The supply was very mixed as
cattle were cither coming through the door over- fin
ished, full or just right Although bids did match the
uneven quality as buyers didn t hesitate to discount
the heavies or the 4 s and 5 s It was apparent that
many producers were waiting for the market to hit its
peak before shipping their stock to town and (his
thinking came hack to bite a few producers as they
watehed their steers tip the scales at over ISSO lbs
However even when a 1600 pounder brings 65 00 it s
still over 1000 00 per head, which is a pretty good lick
The Board has been very unpredictable this week as
the February live cattle contract was as high as 79 12
on Monday, closing at 78 57 on Thursday as traders try
to keep aligned with the cash trade Speaking of cash
steers, the Western direct feed yards are lined up to
lose another I 00 this week with early sales coming m
at mostly 72 00 A very good test of Holstein steers sold
with a firmer undertone Slaughter heifers were in very
tight supply, therefore a trend was not established The
bulk of the Breaking and Boning cow supply sold with
a firmer tone in continued good demand l,can cows
sold weak to 50 lower due to light buyer attendance
Slaughter bulls sold with a higher undertone on a very
good run The supply included 40 percent steers, 5 per
cent heifers, 36 percent cows, 7 percent bulls, with the
balance feeders
