As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers 2.00 to 3.00 higher, heifers 1.00 to 2.00 higher, Holstein steers 3.00 higher. A nice offering of high quality grading steers and heifers were met with only moderate to good demand, few packer buyers participated this week. Weighing condition was fair as there were quite a few overnight cattle in, hides still carrying a good amount of tag. Estimated dressed cost looked to be 193.00-196.00. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 3.00 higher, bulls sold with higher undertones.

Slaughter lambs unevenly steady in a light test. Good slaughter ewes 6.00 to 10.00 lower, other grades not well compared. A limited offering of feeder lambs, no recent price comparison available. Good demand for slaughter ewes.
