Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers 2.00 to 3.00 lower, except 1600 lbs steers steady. Holstein steers 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Light to moderate demand from packer buyers this week for this large offering of attractive, clean, high quality grading steers and heifers. Better demand from two way buyers willing to take on a 1450 lbs steer and bet that the fat market will be higher in 30 days. Packer were very reserved in their pursuit of cattle this week as many times the bid would have to back all the way down to 102.00-103.00 to get them to bid, the market was not very active. The vast majority of consignments were offered in full load lots. Weighing conditions ranged from fair to full, estimated dressed cost of the loads ran from 166.00-169.00. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 4.00 higher than Monday’s sale, bulls steady.

Slaughter lambs mostly steady. Feeder lambs not well compared. Slaughter ewes steady to instances of 5.00 higher. Demand for slaughter lambs was more moderate this week, the market was not as active as it has been recently. Moderate to good demand for feeder lambs, quality was uneven as there were more smaller frame lambs offered. Moderate to good demand for slaughter ewes.
