As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers steady to 1.00 higher. Holstein steers steady to 2.00 lower. Moderate demand prevailed again, packers showed little interest in chasing the market. A large offering of very eye appealing, attractive, high quality grading steers and heifers. 24 full loads of steers, 5 full loads of heifers. Estimated dressed cost ranged from 164.00-170.00, weighing conditions ranged from average to full, cattle carrying some tag now after the snow melted and yards got wet. Two way buyers continue to help push the market along on 1400-1450 lbs that look to be a value as packers are unwilling to push the market to par with Dec Live Cattle futures. Slaughter cows and bulls steady to firm.

Slaughter lambs mostly 3.00 to 4.00 lower. Feeder lambs not well compared. Slaughter ewes not well tested last week to offer a comparison with this week. Moderate to good demand for slaughter lambs, good demand for slaughter ewes, only moderate for feeder lambs as few feeder buyers present. The slaughter lamb market was not as active this week, fewer active buyers.
