As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers 2.00 to 3.00 higher, heifers steady to 2.00 higher. Holsteins 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Demand for this eye appealing offering of cattle was good. Weighing conditions were favorable, as most were hauled in overnight. Estimated dressed cost 2.02 - 2.09. CME Corn Futures lower today, Live Cattle Futures higher. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 lower. Bulls to few to make a meaningful comparison.

Traditional slaughter weight lambs 5.00 to 8.00 lower. Demand for this nice offering of lambs was moderate. Lighter lambs sold with lower undertones. Many that would have went to slaughter earlier in the summer are now going to the feed yard to be fattened. Slaughter ewes Good 2-3 and 4-5 9.00 to 14.00 lower, Utility 1-2 7.00 to 10.00 lower, Cull sold with lower undertones in a very light test.
