As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers 3.00 to 5.00 lower, Holstein steers 4.00 to 5.00 lower. Moderate demand for this very large offering of high quality grading steers and heifers. Weighing condition fair to full. The market was moderately active, more packer buyers participating this week. Two way buyers weren't as active. Live Cattle futures made triple digit gains, Choice boxed beef hovering just shy of 220.00, yet packers were determined to grind the market lower at the auction to match the trade in the country. Estimated dressed cost for the majority of this week's cattle looked to be 175.00-180.00. 25 full loads of steers, 9 full loads of heifers, with the balance part loads and packages. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 5.00 lower, except Breakers steady to 2.00 lower, bulls mostly steady.

Slaughter lambs 4.00 to 6.00 lower, slaughter ewes 2.00 to 5.00 higher, feeder lambs under 80 lbs sold with higher undertones but lambs over 80 lbs sold with a lower undertone. Demand for slaughter lambs only moderate. More feeder buyers on the seats this week, demand for feeder lambs moderate to good. Improved demand for slaughter ewes, moderate to good.
