As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers steady to 3.00 higher, heifers steady. Holsteins in a light test 5.00 to 7.00 higher. Demand for this nice offering of eye appealing cattle was moderate. Biggest demand is for black hided cattle creating wide price gaps. Slight incentive for non implant cattle. Estimated dressed cost 229.03 - 235.08. CME Live Cattle closed slightly lower, while corn was up. Slaughter cows steady to 4.00 higher. Slaughter bulls steady to 1.00k higher.

Traditional weight slaughter lambs 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Demand for this nice offering of sheep was good. Slaughter ewes Good 2-3 and Utility steady to 5.00 higher, Good 4-5 and Cull to few to make a meaningful comparison.
