As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers 2.00 lower, Holstein steers 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Light demand for this good sized offering of high quality grading, long time fed steers and heifers. Lower cash fed cattle sales in the country materialized yesterday which pressured the market at the auction this week. Weighing condition average to full, hides continue to carry .5 to 1 percent tag making an estimated dressed cost in the 189.00-193.00 range this week. Feb CME Live Cattle futures continue to post losses, closing today at 118.95. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 3.00 than Monday's sale, bulls not well compared.

Slaughter lambs steady with an instance of 5.00 higher. Slaughter ewes sold with much higher undertones, feeder lambs not tested. Very good demand for slaughter lambs and ewes. Light demand remains for bred ewes.
