Green City. MO and Burwell NT which each held special yearling sales Over 10 loads of yearling feeders were offered m Green City and buyers were so aggressive that shout ing matches broke out in the seats as demand outweighed supply The 700-900 lb Number I steers sold from 107 00 115 40 w ith a fancy load of 800 lb steers at 116 90 Similar cattle m Bur well brought 105 00-111 75 on a good run of 4,500 head of which 88 pet weighed over 600 lbs It’s clear that Northern feed lots and Midwestern farmer-feeders are desperate to restock their inventories be fore the end of the year, as each has been extremely profitable over the last six months Heavy feeder supplies continue to be extremely tight and a load of year lings will be harder to secure than that perfect Christmas gift during this holiday season Feeder cattle marketing may have been slow this past holiday week, but slaughter cattle trading was active as packers jumped out and paid 2 00 more for showlists to prepare themselves for a full-weeks slaughter schedule and post Thanksgiving beef demand Southern Plains feedlots sold at 100 00 with North ”* ern areas selling at mostly 102.00 and 160 00 dressed Boxed beef cut-out values were lower this week but movement was good as retailers put their shelves back in order, after featuring turkeys and hams for the past couple of weeks.
