Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers steady to 1.00 higher, slaughter heifers 1.00 to 2.00 higher. Holsteins steady to 2.00 lower. Demand for this nice offering of eye appealing cattle was moderate. Black hided cattle are in biggest demand. Several lots of no implant cattle this week, nice premium for them. Only a couple lots of 1600 lb cattle. Weighing conditions favorable, as most cattle was hauled in over night. CME Live Cattle closed slightly higher as well as corn. Slaughter cows Breaker and Boner 1.00 to 3.00 higher, Lean steady. Bulls to few to make a meaningful comparison.

Slaughter sheep 4.00 to 6.00 lower. Demand for this large offering was moderate. Ewes steady to 5.00 higher.

NO SALE NEXT WEEK DUE TO THANKSGIVING WEEK.
