SUMMARY

Dryted steers and heifers in
the top quality categories sold
steady to a little firmer on some
sales this week. Plainer grades
moved slowly, at steady to 50c
lower rates. Cows and _ bulls
were generally 50c¢ off. Demand
and prices for good replacement
cattle continued steady to firm.
Hogs were steady except in Al-
berta where levels were down
$1.50 to $2.25. Principal lamb
market dropped 50 to $1 or
more.

Slaughter cattle receipts at
eleven public markets were the
heaviest of the year totalling
34,000 head this week, 3,500
more than a week ago and 8000
more than in the same week last
year. Arrivals at Toronto were
about 2000 above last week and
western terminals had 1,500
more. Marketings through pub-
lie stockyards and on direct
shipment to packing plants in
the first 32 weeks of the year
amounted to 1,266,000 cattle,
11 percent more than in the
same period of 1955. Clearances
in the current week were good
with the only sizeable holdovers
at Thursday's close being at To-
ronto, 1,500 mostly plain killers
and stockers, and Winnipeg with
400 common stockers. Quality
showed no improvement this
week, plain grass steers and low
grade cows bulking large in the
run. Indications were that good
and choice beef making material
would not come up to last
week's 35.5 percent of the total
cattle which was the poorest
quality run this year.

Limited numbers of dryfed
slaughter steers and heifers
found a reliable outlet at steady
prices in the past week with
scattered sales a little highe
Plain and common sorts of stee
and heifers predominated in the
supply, were slow and some-
times hard to sell at reductions
of 25-50c or more on eastern as
well as Alberta market termin-

+h es.
Cow prices were given another
downward revision of mostly 50¢
and some Montréal transactions
were off as much as $1. Bulls
also finshed mainly 50¢ lower
for the week.

THE CATTLE CYCLE

U.S.D.A. expects the total eat-
tle population to be down almost
halt a million’ head on next
January’ count, with further
declines in sight for ’58. Cana-
da’s cattle population is probab-
ly about static, as slaughter this
year is running eight per cent
ahead of ’55. (Last year a four
per cent slaughter, increase par-
alleled a three per cent popula-
tion increase.) This year we ex-
pect feeders to plan for a longer.
feeding..period than last year,
and many of them will use stil-
bestrol. Thus, there will be more
big fat steers and a relatively
larger supply of finished beet
from fewer head of stock in '57.
As a result, anticipated reduc-
tion in cattle population will
not reduce total beef supply till
mis-summer. Following the same
line of thought we can expect
heavy steers to be discounted
relative to lights early next
summer.
