Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers 5.00 to 8.00 lower. Demand moderate at best for this offering of hard fed, high quality grading steers and heifers. Lighter weight cattle seen this week, yet packer buyers weren't going to compete very hard to buy cattle. 6 full loads of steers in the offering, 2 full loads of heifers, balance part loads and stock trailer loads.
Slaughter lambs 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Slaughter ewes traded mixed, Good flesh ewes unevenly steady, Utility ewes 10.00 to 20.00 lower. Good demand for all weights of slaughter lambs, very good demand for feeder lambs as there were many buyers on the seats wanting to buy these light lambs, demand for slaughter ewes more moderate.
