As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers 1.00 to 2.00 lower, Holstein steers steady to instances of 3.00 higher. Light demand again for fed cattle this week. Very few packer buyers participating. This week's offering was primarily new crop calf feds, rather light in weight as many steers offered under 1400 lbs and heifers under 1250 lbs. Weighing conditions ran from average to full, estimated dressed cost looked to be 182.00-185.00. CME Live Cattle contracts lower, with Jun closing at 109.63. Packers were unwilling to chase the market at the auction which resulted in a market that was not very active. Choice boxed beef remained around 222.00 yet packers continue to drive the fed cattle market lower. Slaughter cows 1.00 higher than Monday's sale, bulls mostly steady.

Slaughter lambs under 100 lbs 7.00 to 8.00 higher, over 100 lbs steady. Slaughter ewes 2.00 to 7.00 higher. Feeder lambs not well compared, More farmer feeder buyers in attendance this week but quality was not as attractive, many smaller framed and short docked lambs in the offering.
