Early week prices for 90-125 lb Number One bulls were approaching 200 00; needless to say the supply heavily out weighed the late week demand.

If you want results and a check in 2 days call us + Lancaster County Weekly Cattle THIS WEEK LAST WEEK LAST YEAR Compared to last week, slaughter steers sold with a weaker undertone on a light early week run, however, late in the week prices trended with a higher undertone. The quality early in the week was only average, with cattle weighing up very full Buyers were glad to see the im proved quality late in the week, and even though it was still mixed, it gave them the op portunity to put some uniform loads together Several factors helped to put some tire back in the finished market late in the week The first was the Western feed yards moving their cattle 1 00-2 00 higher on Thursday, from 79.00-80 00. Secondly, the CME is again running with the bulls, as the February live cattle contract is again above 80 00. Slaughter Holstein and heif er runs were not tested this week, although there was a pretty fancy supply late m the week that trended with a higher undertone. Slaughter cows sold firm to as much as 1 00 higher for the week. Tuesday's run was very light due to the snow, although when over 600 head made their way to Thursday's market demand held firm as a higher cow carcass cutout value is adding sup port Cattle receipts were much lower when compared to last week, as farmers were busy digging out from the Blizzard of 2003 early in the week. This week's reported supply included 37 percent steers, S percent heifers, 52 percent cows, 1 percent bulls, with the balance feeder cattle. SLAUGHTER STEERS.
