Local Hog and Cattle Prices Hit Highs in Cold Weather
In Portland a sharp run of hogs and light cattle hit new high price marks as demand outpaced supply. Hogs sold to $6.65 in the goods with many sales at $6.50. cold weather limited shipments from Nebraska. Cattle arrivals were small. new highs appeared in steers and cows but overall supplies were tight, risking a meat shortage if arrivals do not improve. Sheep prices remained steady with no change from the prior week as buyers paused at top quotes. Chicago wheat eased with a dull session and mixed international notes, including Argentine crop estimates and a price dip in May futures.
