CATTLE Compared to Tuesday, the bulk of the
Choice slaughter steers sold fully 100 higher; with
high Choice and Prime steers as much as 2.00 higher
Bidding was active from the start as buyers knew there
were only around 250 head of steers on offer, and if
they were going to get a load put together there was no
time to waste There in lied the problem though, as the
quality was very mixed, the reputation steers that are
usually rock hard Yield Grade 2‘s or 3‘s were coming
through the chute as soggy Yield Grade 4‘s. Therefore,
buyers had to really sort through the stock to get a un
iform set Also, with all of the storms and moisture the
area has seen the past few weeks, steers are starting to
collect quite-a-bit of mud on them; to say nothing of
the fill they are carrying. Holstein steers sold 100 to as
much as 2.00 higher due to the very good demand
There were not a lot of fed heifers on Tuesday's mar
ket, however on a small comparison heifers did trend
with a higher undertone The heifer supply also in
cluded several head that will grade, but when the grad
er stamps a Prime or Choice quality grade on the car
cass as it swings through the cooler, he will stamp a
Yield Grade 4 or 5 right above it Slaughter cows sold
100-2 00 higher, with Breaking cows as much as 3 00
higher. Cow carcass cutout values are leaps and
bounds higher, which has kept a fire burning under
neath the market Cow buyer attendance was very
good, and with a very attractive run on offer bids
matched the supply hit for hit. When compared to
Tuesday's very light bull run, slaughter bulls sold
sharply higher. The supply included 27 percent steers,
4 percent heifers, 56 percent cows, 4 percent bulls, with
the balance feeders.
