As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers 5.00 to 7.00 lower, Holstein steers 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Light demand for slaughter cattle this week, fewer packer buyers in attendance with very few actually participating. The market was slow as not many bids were to be found for this large offering of high quality grading steers and heifers as packers were determined to let the market fall substantially lower after last week's sharp upturn. Weighing conditions were fair, estimated dressed cost 179.00-182.00 20 full loads of steers, 1 full load of heifers with the balance part loads and small packages. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 lower, bulls 1.00 to 2.00 higher.

Slaughter lambs remain mostly steady. Slaughter ewes unevenly steady. Feeder lambs not well compared as very few actually went to feeding accounts. Moderate demand for the traditional slaughter lamb, those weighing over 110 lbs, good to very good demand for those light weight slaughter lambs as this is where the market was the most active.
