THIS WEEK
LAST WEEK
This week in Lancaster County, slaugh
ter steers kicked off the week trading
mostly steady to firm. However, by Thurs
day the finished market took another no
ticeable swing as prices were a full
3.00- higher in New Holland on
Thursday. The direct feedlots in Nebraska
moved their black-hided steers 1.00- 4.00
higher, from 105.00-106.00 this week.
Their dressed sales were 5.00 higher, from
165.00- However, cutout values
have not been overly affected by the high
er finished trade, as Choice cuts have been
around 169.00. The Merc took note
though, as it will take a few days of limit
up gains to align the spot November con
tract (currently at 99.90) with the current
cash trade. Back in the County, the num
ber of finished cattle is remaining light
Finished, there is a word that is being
used more and more loosely. It used to be
local producers would hold cattle until
they weighed from 1350-1450 lbs., they
were high Choice and Prime, with a Yield
Grade of 3 or 4 Now, they are coming
through the sale ring weighing much less,
most are average to low Choice, some are
Select, with Yield Grades moving down to
1 to 3 Although, who could blame pro
ducers for putting them on a truck when
they are selling them at a live price that
they were getting for them dressed over
the past years That's not to say that there
are not some reputation feeders that are
holding them until they are ready, how
ever, most kosher buyers would pay a
pretty penny for a map to these producers
farms. Holstein steers were in light supply
this week, and were never trended.
Slaughter heifers sold mostly 2 00-4 00
higher late in the week. Slaughter cows
sold fully 1.00-3 00 lower early in the
week, with late week prices feeding off of
the higher steer market, with bids
2.00- 00 higher Slaughter bulls sold
steady to 1.00 lower early in the week,
trending steady to 2.00 higher late in the
week. The cattle supply this week in Lan
caster County included 601 slaughter
steers, 127 slaughter heifers, 1159 slaugh
ter cows, 201 slaughter bulls, and 479
head of feeder cattle
