# Markets continue recovery from Tyson beef plant fire

> Cattle prices are recovering after the August 9 Tyson fire in Holcomb, Kansas, as packers add slaughter to offset the lost capacity. Weekly federally inspected slaughter rose to 651,000 head the week after the fire, and the Five Area steer price fell less than the initial drop.
