Compared to last week: Slaughter steers 17.00-22.00 higher, heifers 10.00-18.00 higher, Holstein steers 8.00 to 10.00 higher. Much improved demand this week as more packer buyers were present and willing to chase the market to get cattle bought after buying cattle in the country at sharply higher prices on Monday and Tuesday. Dressing percents varied greatly as weighing conditions ranged from full to a fair weigh up. Estimated dressed cost ranged from 178.00-184.00 on the loads. As the daily slaughter increases, and with the boxed beef trade greater than 470.00, packers displayed willingness to pay sharply higher prices for cattle. 5 full loads of steers, 2 full loads of heifers, in this week's offering with the balance small packages and part loads. Slaughter cows steady with Monday's sale.

Slaughter lambs 10.00 to 15.00 lower, feeder lambs sold with lower undertones, slaughter ewes 4.00 to 8.00 higher. Only moderate demand for slaughter lambs, very light demand for the heavy lambs (over 150 lbs). Good demand for slaughter ewes. Moderate demand for feeder lambs.
