Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers 3.00 to 4.00 higher, Holstein steers 3.00 to 4.00 lower. Good demand for steers and heifers this week. As the direct trade established at 105.00 packers were needing cattle and willing to pay more to get them bought. The market was fairly active as there were only 4 full loads of steers and 8 full loads of heifers, with the balance smaller packages, which had packers competing harder than they have in recent weeks to get their needs secured. The rising Aug Live Cattle contract is greatly helping the fed cattle market as well. Slaughter cows and bulls steady with Monday’s sale.

Slaughter lambs mostly steady, non-traditional lambs 10.00 to 15.00 lower. Feeder lambs not well compared. Slaughter ewes 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Good demand for traditional slaughter lambs, only moderate for the lighter non-traditional lambs. Moderate demand for feeders as most went to slaughter accounts. Good demand for slaughter ewes.
