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.
Packers, feedlot and Irrigated
farm buyers were equally active
in contributing to the broad and
brisk 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.
Farmers sought weaner and feed
er pigs while packers needed
more top-quality fat hogs. Sheep
were steady, poorer finish ewes
down $1 cwt, to 5.10 but fat
lambs were up $2.35 to $10.60 cwt.
Good quality dairy cows were up
to $170.00 hd.
Calves: Baby calves 9.00-28.00
hd.; weaner calves, steer calves
19.10-21.30 cwt.; heifer calves
16.75-19.10 cwt.; veal 22.50-25.00
