Compared to last week: Slaughter steers steady to 2.00 lower, heifers steady to 1.00 lower, Holstein steers steady to 2.00 higher. Demand for this light offering was light to moderate. Weighing conditions were favorable as most cattle were hauled in overnight or very early in the morning. Many of the cattle were carrying 1% of their body weight in tag due to the wet weather and muddy conditions. Estimated dressed cost 180.00 to 188.00. Slaughter cows Breaker 75-80% 2.00 to 4.00 higher, Boner 80-85% steady, Lean 85-90% steady to 2.00 lower. Slaughter bulls 4.00 to 6.00 lower.

Traditional slaughter weight lambs 2.00 higher, non traditional lambs sold with lower undertones for the second week straight. Slaughter ewes Good 2-3 7.00 to 10.00 higher, Good 4-5 6.00 to 9.00 lower, Utility 1-2 and Cull 1 to few to make a meaningful comparison. Demand for this light offering of nice sheep was very good.40
