Page 8 Heppner Gozette Times, Thursday, June 17, 1954 Steer Price Sets Recent High HERMISTON Highest price paid for a whiteface fed steer in over six months, $2330 cwt., was paid to Everett P. Snyder of Hermiston at the Hermiston live stock auction Friday for an 1145 lb. animal, Delbert Anson, man ager of the sale, reports. Snyder also consigned the largest steer, 1355 lbs., at $22.50 cwt., bringing a total of $304.88. Volume of cattle consigned, 561, although high, was down from 689 consigned the previous Friday. Also consigned Friday were 111 hogs compared with 130 the previous week and 149 sheep compared with 132. The grain-fed fat slaughter steer top was a full dollar above the previous Friday's $22.30 cwt., clue to growing scarcity of grain feed steers, preferred over grass steers because of better dressing out percentage, tenderer meat and white color rather than yel low characteristic of grass-fed cattle. All long-fed steers sold for over $22.00 cwt., highest mini mum in some time. More long grain-fed feedlot steers of this good quality and finish, grading good and choice, are needed to meet current demand, and also in demand next Friday will be stockor and feeder steers and fat cows, as well as fat hogs, supply of which was insufficient to meet strong demand Friday.

Hog prices were stronged, feeder pigs up $2.05 to a $31.25 cwt., top, fat hogs up 30c to $28.00 and weaner pigs up $3.50 per head to $20.00.
