Compared to last week: Slaughter steers Choice 2-3 steady to 1.00 lower, Choice 3-4 2.00 to 4.00 lower, heifers 4.00 to 5.00 lower. Holstein steers 5.00 lower. Moderate demand for this nice offering of hard fed cattle. We saw 3 loads of cattle weighing in the 1600lb range. CME Live Cattle Futures slightly higher at the time of this report. CME Corn lower again today, fair amount lower this week. Slaughter Cows Boner steady to 1.00 lower, Lean 1.00 to 3.00 lower, Breaker to few to make a meaningful comparison. Bulls to few to make a meaningful comparison.

Traditional weight sheep down 6.00 to 13.00. Demand for this large offering of market ready sheep was moderate. Some packers are having a hard time finding people to work and run the facility at full capacity. Ewes Good 2-3 2.00 to 8.00 lower, Good 4-5 steady to 3.00 lower, Utility 5.00 to 6.00 lower, cull to few to make a meaningful comparison.
