The measure aims to curb the black market and channel livestock into normal slaughter channels, with uncertain near term price effects. Cattle offerings were slightly up from the prior week but still below a year earlier. Los Angeles receipts fell again. Prices for fat steers and other grades varied, with New Mexico steers near 18.60, light steers 16 to 17.50, medium to good 15 to 15.50, and cows mainly 12 to 14.25, feeders 14.50 to 15, bulls 14 to 15. The sheep and lamb market remained about steady, testable top quotations not offered. lambs around 14.60 and ewes 6.50 to 7.
