As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers, heifers, and Holstein steers 1.00 to 2.00 higher. Light to moderate demand as few packer buyers present. A shorter offering again this week, 6 full loads of steers, 4 full loads of heifers with the balance packages and half loads, but quality was high overall. The cattle are longtime fed, hard and clean. The quality grade is very high and weighing condition was fair with an estimated dressed cost of 147.00-154.00. With area packing plants on a reduced kill, some plants completely closed, the market activity is best described as slow as there are few bids to be found. Choice boxed beef continues to post changes of more than 20.00 per day, this morning it reached 450.81. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher compared to Monday's sale, bulls not well compared.

Traditional weight slaughter lambs sold with a lower undertone, comparison too narrow to fully compare, non-traditional weight lambs unevenly steady. Slaughter ewes mostly steady. Feeder lambs steady. Moderate demand for slaughter lambs, good demand for slaughter ewes and for ewes to return to the country, good demand for feeder lambs. Quite a few buyers looking to buy feeder lambs and open ewes this week.
