Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers 5.00 to 8.00 higher. Good demand for this nice offering of long time fed, high quality grading steers and heifers. Much cooler weather this week, temps started the day in the high 40s in places, making it easier on cattle and their care takers. The market was rather active, as packers were buying cattle in the country on Tuesday already this week. 5 full loads of steers, 3 full loads of heifers, balance part loads and stock trailer loads.

Slaughter lambs 4.00 to 10.00 higher. Feeder lambs sold with higher undertones. Slaughter ewes mixed, Good ewes 5.00 to 10.00 higher, Utility ewes mostly steady. Good demand for slaughter lambs, very good demand for feeder lambs and slaughter ewes. A large offering, the market was active for the slaughter lambs, very active on the feeders as there was plenty of selection of light fleshed lambs.
