Compared to last week: Slaughter steers 4.00 to 6.00 higher, heifers 3.00 to 6.00 higher. Holsteins steady to 1.00 lower. Demand for this nice offering of slaughter cattle was good. Best demand continues to be seen for black hided cattle, which created wide price spreads. Two way buyers stepped in today to encourage a strong market for cattle with nice weigh ups. We saw several lots of 1600lb cattle today, much heavier than we have seen in past weeks. Drug free and program cattle did not show much of premium today. Estimated dressed weight 194.00 - 202.00 CME Live Cattle were up while corn was down. Slaughter cows Breaker 3.00 to 4.00 higher, Boner 2.00 higher, Lean steady to 1.00 higher. Slaughter Bulls to few to make a meaningful comparison.

Traditional slaughter weight lambs 4.00 to 5.00 lower. Demand for this larger offering was good. Slaughter ewes Good 2-3 12-15 lower, Good 4-5 and Utility1-2 in a light test compared to last week sold unevenly steady.
