Wednesday's Review: Fat cattle market holds steady amid heavy receipts
The weekly cattle market shows little change as receipts run high with 6,900 fresh cattle reported. Prices ease to $4.30 to $4.50 for most shipments, cows down about 15 cents from last week, and branded cows selling under $2.75. Calf receipts rise, packers bid up to HM.00 and under for fleshy calves, hogs surface mixed with heavy weights near $5.25 to $5.40. futures imply a potential bottom despite cautious tone.
