New Records Set 

 At Chicago Yards 



T 



HE cattle market last year at the Chi- 

 cago Stock Yards was marked by record- 

 breaking prices. 



The 1948 average for steer and yearling 

 cattle soared to $31.35 a hundred for the 

 year, 16 per cent higher than 1947, and 

 the 10th consecutive year the average price 

 for cattle at Chicago has broken preceding 

 records. 



At the same time a new all-time record 

 top of $41.60 per hundredweight was 

 established on Sept. 21. This top held 

 for three days and was 60 cents above the 

 previous record high in 1947. 



Receipts for the year were estimated at 

 1,693,306 head of cattle. The domestic 

 supply was augmented by 8,000 head of 

 Canadian cattle after the embargo against 

 shipments of beef cattle to the United 

 States was lifted by the Canadian govern- 

 ment. 



A total of 21,000 head of Western 

 range cattle was brought to Chicago dur- 

 ihg the year. Grass cattle from the West 

 sold for as high as $31 in Septernber. 



Topping the market at $41.60 in Sep- 

 tember were Swanton Brothers and Wil- 

 liam Mommsen and Son of Iowa, and 

 Tilden J. Burg, McDonough county, Illi- 

 nois.
