As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers 2.00 to 5.00 lower, Holstein steers 8.00 to 10.00 lower. Light demand for this nice offering of hard fed, high quality grading steers and heifers. Many full loads in the offering. The market activity was slow in spite of the Live Cattle futures making good gains, Oct closing at 103.20. There was a premium evident this week for Implant Free cattle. The market started out lower and fell even lower as the sale progressed. Few packer buyers present and even fewer who would actually bid on cattle. Estimated dressed cost ranged from 158.00-164.00. Slaughter cows and bulls steady to 2.00 higher than Monday's sale.

Compared to last week: Slaughter lambs 2.00 to 3.00 lower, slaughter ewes sold not well compared but a much lower undertone was evident, too few feeder lambs to make a meaningful comparison. Moderate demand for slaughter lambs, light to moderate for slaughter ewes, moderate demand for feeder lambs.
