As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers 2.00 to 3.00 higher, Holstein steers steady to 1.00 higher. Moderate to good demand from packer buyers this week, which is a notable improvement from last week. Two way buyers still inactive. A large offering of high quality grading steers and heifers, many offered in in full loads, but also many small packages as well. Weighing condition average to full, hides continue to be very dirty with many carrying around 1 percent in tag. Estimated dressed cost looked to run from 199.00-202.00. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower, bulls not well compared.

Slaughter lambs steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter ewes 5.00 to 7.00 higher. Feeder lambs not tested. Good demand for slaughter lambs, very good demand for slaughter ewes, light demand for bred ewes. Good demand for the string of bred nannies.
