Demand for this nice offering of clean cattle was good, non implant cattle sold with a premium. Several loads sold with weighing conditions favorable, as most cattle were hauled in overnight. CME Live Cattle Futures were up slightly today, while corn was down. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Slaughter bulls sold with higher undertones in a light test.

Traditional slaughter weight sheep 20.00 to 25.00 higher. The demand for lambs was high and continues to drive the market higher. Very active market today for slaughter sheep and ewes. Slaughter ewes Good 2-3 2.00 to 4.00 lower, Good 4-5 10.00 to 13.00 lower, Utility 1-2 5.00 to 10.00 higher, Cull to few to make a meaningful comparison.
