As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers steady to 4.00 higher, heifers steady to 1.00 higher. Holsteins 1.00 to 2.00 higher. Demand for this nice offering of eye appealing cattle was good. Weighing conditions were good, as most cattle were hauled in overnight. Black hided cattle are in highest demand, creating wide price gaps. Several loads of clean cattle today as well as no implant cattle. A little premium was evident for no implant and drug free cattle. Estimated dressed cost 221.00 - 227.00. CME Live Cattle closed higher along with corn. Slaughter cows Boner & Lean 1.00 to 3.00 higher, Breaker 1.00 to 2.00 lower. Bulls 2.00 to 3.00 lower in a light test.

Traditional slaughter weight lambs steady to 5.00 lower, over 150 lbs 5.00 to 7.00 lower. Demand for this light offering of slaughter lambs was moderate. Slaughter ewes steady to 5.00 lower.
