Show Producers Livestock Market News Cattle: Our market is steady on all good classes this week. With good quality fat grass steers from the Uintah Basin selling at $12.50 to $13. Medium to good steers carrying flesh yet lacking quality $9.00 to $11.00. Common steers down to $7. This includes dairy type half fat light steers. Good quality Hereford feeding steers S9 to $10. We advise ad-vise the holding back of these cattle until the feeding season opens. ' I have just visited your pastures pas-tures and most of them look good. Your light cattle not suitable suit-able for killing should remain at home. Put as much weight on them as you can. There is an abundance of feed all over the country. Perhaps this will encourage feeder buyers buy-ers this fall. Good fat cows from the Uintah Uin-tah Basin sold this week at $10 to $11. with cutters and canners at a stand still. Packers seem to have their yards full of these cattle, claiming that they are unable un-able to move them out of the cooler. I talked with our Los Angeles office and the same condition con-dition seems to prevail there; yet they are able to move them at lower prices. We have shipped several loads to Los Angeles during the last two weeks to help relieve our condition here. Good cutters $7 to $8.50. Canners Can-ners $3 to $6.
