As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers in a very light test sold with higher undertones. Holsteins to few to make a meaningful comparison. Demand for this small offering was good. Slaughter heifers were in high demand today. Due to the Christmas Holiday the receipts this week are very light. Three loads of heifers sold today. CME Live Cattle and Corn both higher at the time of this report. Slaughter cows in a light test steady to 2.00 lower. Slaughter bulls to few to make a meaningful comparison.

Traditional slaughter weight lambs 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Demand for this small offering of sheep was good. Slaughter ewes Good 10.00 to 20.00 lower, Utility 25.00 to 30.00 lower.

Merry Christmas Everyone!
