Compared to last week: Slaughter steers steady to 2.00 higher, heifers 1.00 to 2.00 higher. Holsteins steady to 4.00 higher. Demand for this nice offering of slaughter cattle was good. Black hided cattle are in the highest demand making a wide spread in prices. Program cattle showed a good premium. Two way buyers stepped in when they saw a good buy on eye appealing cattle. Still seeing several loads of 1600 lb cattle this week along with a load of 1700 lbs. Estimated dressed weight was 198.00 - 203.00. CME Live Cattle closed higher with corn taking a big jump as well. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. Bulls to few to make a meaningful comparison.

Traditional Slaughter weight lambs 5.00 to 9.00 lower. Demand for this nice offering of lambs was moderate. Slaughter ewes sold with lower undertones in a light test the past two weeks. Demand for ewes this week was good.
