Compared to last week: Slaughter steers steady to 1.00 higher, heifers steady to 2.00 higher, Holstein steers 3.00 higher. Good demand for this week's offering of very attractive, high quality grading steers and heifers. The market was fairly active, in spite of fewer packer buyers this week. Weighing condition was fair, estimated dressed cost looked to be from 184.00-187.00. 7 full loads of steers, 3 full loads of heifers with the balance half loads and small packages. Two way buyers were not active as packers were quick to get the bids rolling as they were ready to buy cattle. The CME futures contracts still refuse to follow the cash market higher as now the basis is a positive 6.00 to 8.00. Slaughter cows mostly 5.00 higher, bulls remain steady.

Slaughter lambs mostly steady, Good slaughter ewes 8.00 to 10.00 higher, Utility and Cull ewes steady. Feeder lambs too narrowly tested to allow a good, complete comparison. Moderate demand for slaughter lambs, good demand for slaughter ewes, moderate to good for feeder lambs.
