Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers 1.00 to 3.00 lower, Holstein steers mostly steady. Demand was light to moderate for this very large offering of hard fed, high quality grading steers and heifer, over 40 full loads in the offering. As packer bids in the country as hard to come by many producers opting to ship their cattle to auction where they can get paid for their cattle today. Overall the quality of the cattle was very eye appealing, as was the weighing condition as most cattle came in over night. Much warmer temperatures created sloppier conditions which resulted in many cattle carrying 1% of their weight in tag. Estimated dressed cost 176.00 - 180.00. Two way buyers weren't very active as few two way cattle were offered. Slaughter cows were steady. Slaughter Bulls 3.00 lower compared to last Wednesday.

Traditional slaughter weight lambs 6.00 to 10.00 higher, few instances steady on lambs over 150 lbs. Non traditional weight lambs sold with sharply lower undertones. Slaughter ewes 15.00 to 30.00 lower, except Good 4-5 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Good demand for this large offering of nice quality slaughter lambs and slaughter ewes.
