National Slaughter Cattle Weekly Review Slaughter cattle traded 1.00-2.00 high er this week with good demand from packers. Trade only moderate in the north as a major winter storm slowed progress. Another major cold front is ex pected to move in next week and could have a hand in the declining slaughter weights. Show lists are still fairly short in the south but remain even in the north. Boxed beef prices jumped in light of the reduced kills to advance over 13.00 since the first of the year. USDA’s boxed beef cut-out values Friday morning averaged 132.33 up 6.68 from last Friday. Sales of slaughter cattle on a national basis for negotiated cash trades were 165,900 through 10:00 a.m. Friday. Last week’s full count was 228,800.
