Compared to last week: Slaughter steers 2.00 to 3.00 lower, except steers 1600 lbs and heavier 3.00 to 5.00 lower, heifers steady to 1.00 lower. Holstein steers 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Demand only moderate for this very large offering of hard fed, eye appealing, high quality grading cattle. 26 full loads of steers, 15 full loads of heifers, along with many small packages. Packers were very reserved in their bidding. Weighing conditions ranged from full to fair, nearly half the consignments were hauled in overnight. Estimated dressed cost ranged from 167.00-173.00. Boxed beef values jumped sharply this week but packers were determined to buy cattle cheaper at the auction as the supply was so large. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 3.00 lower than Monday’s sale, bulls 3.00 to 4.00 lower.

Slaughter lambs 3.00 to 5.00 lower. Feeder lambs not well compared. Slaughter ewes sold with mostly steady undertones. A very large offering of slaughter lambs again this week, demand more moderate for the traditional weight slaughter lambs, good demand was seen for those non-traditional weight slaughter lambs. Moderate to good demand for feeder lambs but the demand from packer buyers was greater as most of those light lambs went to slaughter accounts. Good demand for slaughter ewes.
