Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers 2.00 to 4.00 higher,instances to 5.00 higher, Holstein steers steady to 1.00 higher. Good demand for slaughter steers and heifers, which is much improved from last week's sluggish market. A Very attractive offering of long time, hard-fed steers and heifers, many full loads. The market was much more active this week as buyers were willing to bid and compete a little to get cattle bought. Two-way buyers were active as well, buying cattle to fit outgoing contracts along with lighter cattle that could stand more days on feed. Weighing condition was fair, overall, with an estimated dressed cost of 164.00-170.00. Premiums were not evident on Non-Implanted cattle, of which there were few. Higher cash market in the country at the end of last week and a higher trending Oct Live Cattle contract helped to support the market at the auction. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 3.00 higher than Monday's sale, bulls steady to firm.

Compared to last week: Slaughter lambs steady to 1.00 higher, slaughter ewes mostly steady, feeder lambs sold with higher undertones compared to last week's limited offering. Moderate to good demand for slaughter lambs, moderate demand for slaughter ewes, good demand for feeder lambs.
