Western cattle trade shows steady demand amid light receipts
Cattle market notes from Western dealers report light weekly receipts as grass cattle mature slowly. J A Hathaway ships about 200 head weekly with best steers around 15 50 pounds selling at 44 4 to 44 5 cents per pound. Trade remains moderate as warm weather prompts butchers to slaughter their own cattle and prices vary by weight and lot. Sample sales near Brighton indicate steers averaging 14 30 to 16 25 pounds fetch 50 to 53 cents per pound, with multiple lots trading through the day.
