As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers steady to 1.00 higher, heifers steady to 3.00 lower. Holsteins 1.00 to 4.00 higher. Demand for this eye appealing offering of fat cattle was moderate. Black hided cattle are in biggest demand. Profits are shriveling with the drought, lack of hay, and rising grain prices. Estimated dressed cost 226.00 - 231.00. CME Live Cattle slightly lower along with corn. Slaughter cows Breaker 1.00 to 2.00 lower, Boner and Lean steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter bulls steady undertones.

Traditional slaughter weight lambs steady to 1.00 lower. Demand for this nice offering of sheep was good. Slaughter ewes Good 2-3 & 4-5 steady to 5.00 higher, Utility and Cull to few to make a meaningful comparison.
