As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers mostly steady, heifers 1.00 to 4.00 lower, Holstein steers 5.00 higher. Demand remains moderate, still missing some regular packer buyers at the auction which results in a market that is not very active. The market remains very uneven. Estimated dressed cost ranged from 164.00-185.00. Weighing conditions similar to last week, average to full. Only 3 full loads of steers, 2 full loads of heifers while the balance was small packages and part loads. Daily cattle slaughter has reached 114,000 again today, yet that is still 6,000 fewer than last year. Boxed beef values are receding about as quickly as they rose, Choices boxes at 300.01 this morning. Packers were bidding lower in the country with some sales in Iowa at 112.00-115.00 and up to 185.00 dressed. Slaughter cows and bulls steady.

Traditional slaughter lambs mostly steady in a narrow comparison, non-traditional weight slaughter lambs 10.00 to 30.00 lower. Feeder lambs not well compared, lower undertones evident. Fleshy slaughter ewes steady to 2.00 lower (Good 2-4), Utility ewes 10.00 to 15.00 lower. Moderate demand for traditional slaughter lambs, less demand this week for the lighter non-traditional slaughter lambs. Light demand for feeder lambs as few farmer-feeder buyers in attendance. Good demand for fleshy ewes, less demand seen on thinner ewes this week.
