Market Still Off as Beckt Reports Steer Prices
Oscar Beck returned Monday from the eastern market with reports of a market drop and top steers at 6.75, heifers at 5.75, and shipments faring poorly in the fall. Charley Alexandria notes cattle on the market this fall but only six cents paid for some, citing low corn crops and Iowa feeders racing to slaughter. Wyoming grass and hay-fed cattle still lead, with expectations of heavy demand next year. A noted sale last year brought 7.75, with cattle shipped east and fed two weeks prior to sale. The report also mentions personal health notes about local residents and medical personnel.
