Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers steady to 1.00 lower, Holstein steers 3.00 to 4.00 lower in a limited test. Only moderate demand for this light offering of steers and heifers, the cattle were attractive and hard fed but only 7 full loads of steers, 4 full loads of heifers with the balance part loads and packages. The market was not very active as packers were not willing to chase the market, in spite of boxed beef prices gaining every day. The best demand remains for black hided cattle, the non-implanted cattle sold at the high end of the price ranges. Estimated dressed cost ranged from 190.00-195.00. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 compared to last Wednesday’s sale, bulls not well tested as most of the bulls were carrying too much fat and were discounted.

A very limited offering of traditional slaughter weight lambs, a large offering of those light lambs under 100 lbs that continue to go to slaughter accounts, all weights of slaughter lambs steady. Slaughter ewes steady to 5.00 higher, except Utility ewes to 10.00 higher. Very good demand for traditional weight slaughter lambs as supplies are tight, good demand for light weight lambs whether they are bound for slaughter or feed. Very good demand for this large offering of slaughter ewes.
