Compared to last week: Slaughter steers 3.00 to 5.00 higher, heifers 2.00 to 4.00 higher, Holstein steers steady to 2.00 lower. Much improved demand this week for this much lighter offering of steers and heifers. Packers were more aggressive bidders leaving fewer cattle for the two way buyers. 8 full loads of steers, 1 full load of heifers offered, balance part loads and small packages. Hides continued to be fairly clean, weigh up conditions average. Estimated dressed cost this week ranged from 165.00-171.00. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 higher with the full advance on lean cows, bulls mostly steady.

Slaughter lambs steady to 2.00 lower, feeder lambs mostly steady, slaughter ewes steady with instances of 10.00 higher on the thin ewes. Moderate to good demand for slaughter lambs with the best demand centered on the light lambs under 100 lbs. Good to very good demand on the slaughter ewes, best demand on the thin ewes. Good demand for replacement ewes.
