Compared to two weeks ago: Slaughter steers 2.00 to 4.00 higher, except over 1600 lbs steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter heifers 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Holstein steers steady. Demand only moderate this week, another very large offering of hard fed, high quality grading steers and heifers. Market activity was only moderate as packer buyers showed little interest in chasing the market. Weighing conditions ranged from full to average, estimated dressed cost ranged from 170.00-174.00, few to 176.00. CME Live Cattle futures traded sideways again today, packers unwilling to push the market at the auction in spite of the strength of the boxed beef market. 15 full loads of steers, 3 full loads of heifers, balance part loads and small packages. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 4.00 higher compared to Monday, bulls steady to 2.00 higher.

Slaughter lambs mostly steady, instances to 2.00 lower on lambs over 150 lbs. Feeder lambs not well tested. Slaughter ewes steady to firm, in a narrow comparison. Demand for slaughter lambs only moderate, good for slaughter ewes, very good demand for the consignments of bred ewes.
