As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers steady to 1.00 lower in a light test, heifers steady to 3.00 higher. Holsteins 1.00 to 2.00 lower in a light test. Demand for this eye appealing offering of fat cattle was moderate. Wide price gaps created by the demand for black hided cattle. Majority of the cattle offered today were hauled in overnight making for good weigh ups. Ever so slight premium for non implant and drug free cattle. Estimated dressed cost 225.80 - 229.00. CME Live Cattle and Corn both higher today. Slaughter cows steady to 4.00 higher. Bulls steady to 3.00 higher.

Traditional weight slaughter lambs steady to 3.00 lower. Demand for this large offering of good sheep was moderate. Slaughter ewes 10.00 to 20.00 lower.
