Weekly Market Report
of
The Atkinson Livestock Market
Atkinson. Nebraska
December 22 Auction
The season’s most severe cold wave held receipts down to
759 head of cattle. It was a typical pre-holiday sale, not too
many buyers, and the quality of the offering was quite un
even.
There weren’t enough calves on hand to test the market.
In the absence of better quality kinds a couple of loads of
just good 880 lb. steers brought 18.70 and 18.’40 cwt. These
plainer kinds looked steady to a half dollar higher than a
week ago, and buyers seemed to prefer the lower grades.
A load of yearling heifers brought 13.90, however, the
better kinds could be quoted up to 15.75 cwt. Choice breeding
cows were absent. $90.00 to $113.00 per head was the best
cows offered this week.
The butcher cattle looked 50 cents better on all classes.
Canner cows 7.00 to 8.00, cutters 8.25 to 9.00, beef cows 9.50
to 10.50. The bologna bulls sold from 8.50 to 11.00 cwt.
