Kansas City cattle market shows big weeklong decline
Market reviews show a heavy week for cattle with 7000 head on hand and prices $0.95 below, beef steers in excess supply, and demand sluggish though buyers less cautious. Top cattle reached about 96.30 while fat steers averaged 5.00 to 5.90, cows around 3.50 to 4.50, hogs mixed and mutton strong, as Texas sheep sellers posted prices near 4.50 to 4.85. Kansas farmer G W Jotter of Narka sold four carloads of steers at 6.00 as winter feeding winds down.
