Lancaster County Weekly Cattle New Holland. Pa. Report Supplied By USDA Friday, March 7,2003 THIS WEEK EAST WEEK LAST YEAR Compared to last week, slaughter steers sold 50-1 00 lower on the two early week runs, with prices trending a full 1 00-3 00 lower to close out the week Most producers and buyers have been keeping a close eye on the CME live cattle futures as we look ahead at the summer months And many held a small hope that the Board would adjust itself to the cash trade like it had done all winter Instead the Western feedyards moved their steers at mostly 77 00 this week, which is a full 2 00-3 00 lower, and in turn set the tone for the rest of the country. Needless to say, the next few months look very bearish as the April contract closed at 74 60 on Thursday, with the June and August contracts at the Merc settling from 66 80-6967 respec tively. Most producers in Lancaster County will be hitting the calculator pretty hard over the months to come, once again figuring breakevens instead of being able to bank on the 78 00-81 00 steer market they were beginning to become ac customed to However, it is also important to note the lower quality of the runs in the county this week. The bulk of the snow is melting off very rapidly as rains continue to fall. Therefore cattle are coming through the barns with a good amount of mud and HU on them, with buyers discounting accordingly The buyers trying to send the high Choice and Prime quality cattle to their Kosher kills had a tough time getting much of anything put together this week, as de spite the mud and fill the finish wasn't there ei ther Holstein steers sold weak to fully 100 lower Holstein demand is still there, it was just hard for the spotted stock to overcome the pres sure being put off by the slaughter steers and heifers Slaughter heifers sold with a lower un dertone on the mixed runs Slaughter cows opened up the wetk trending weaker, only to turn around on another outstanding late week run to trade a full 1 00-2 00 higher. Buyer at tendance was key this week as usual, and when the cow cutout value was higher and the buyers were there, demand was excellent This week's reported supply included 38 percent steers, 6 percent heifers, 46 percent cows, 4 percent bulls, with the balance feeder cattle SLAUGHTER STEERS High Choice and Prime 2-4 1245-1465 lbs 78.00-82.00, Yield Grade 4-5 74 75-75 75 Choice 2-3 1040-1500 lbs 73 00-78 25, full early in the week 72 75-74 25, Yield Grade 4 70 00-74 25, Yield Grade 5 65 50-70.25, high dressing Charolais and Limi crosses 75.75-78 75, heavyweights 1500-1585 lbs 70 00-74 00 Select and low Choice 2-3 1130-1490 lb 70.75-75.50, up to 76.75 on Mon day, heavyweights 1500-1595 lbs 63 75-70 50 Select 1-2 1090-1485 lbs 69 25-74 00, up to 76 50 on Monday HOLSTEIN STEERS High Choice and Prime 2-3 1310-1565 lbs 61 75-67 00 Choice 2-3 1075-1575 lbs 59 75-63 75 Select and low Choice 1-3 1235-1595 lbs 56 75-60 75, few heavy 1600-1670 lbs 57 00-57 25 Select 1-2 1190-1570 lbs 52 85-58 75 SLAUGHTER HEIFERS Select and low Choice 2-3 1040-1435 lbs 70 75-76 00 SLAUGHTER COWS Breakers 75-80, Over 1400 lbs 42 00-49 00, 37 50-43 25 Boners 80-85, Over 1200 lbs 38 00-44 25, 35 00-39 50 Lean (Hi-Yield) 85-88, Over 1200 lbs 35 50-41 00. 34 75-38 75 Lean 88-90, Over 1000 lbs 34 00-40 00, 30 00-35 50 up to 4150 lean (Lighl-Wt) 85-90, 750-1000 lbs 31 25-35 75, 26 50-31 75 SLAUGHTER BULLS Yield Grade 1 1170-2240 lbs 50 50-59 25, high dressing up to 62 25 with a couple outstanding individuals from 71 50-74 25 on Monday, few low dressers 46 75-47 75 Yield Grade 2 1290-2385 lbs 45 25-53 00, few fed bulls 55 00-57 50 Bullocks Couple Select 1-2 1305-1525 lbs 60 50-62 00 YOUNDT BROS.
