Compared to last week's extremely limited test: Slaughter steers and heifers mostly steady. Moderate to good demand for this very large offering of attractive, hard fed, high quality grading steers and heifers. Many full loads of steers and heifers, a large volume of steers greater than 1600 lbs and heifers greater than 1450 lbs. Weighing condition was attractive to buyers as the majority of the cattle were in overnight ahead of today's snow storm. Estimated dressed cost ranged from 175.00 -180.00. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 5.00 higher compared to Monday, bulls no comparison available.

Slaughter lambs steady to 3.00 higher, feeder lambs no comparison available, slaughter ewes sold with steady to higher undertones compared to last weeks limited test. Demand on slaughter lambs was good, feeder lambs and slaughter ewes very good. An active market, however the most activity was seen on slaughter ewes.
