As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers Choice 2-3 1.00 to 2.00 lower, Choice 3-4 1.00 to 2.00 higher, heifers steady to 1.00 lower. Holsteins 4.00 to 9.00 higher. Demand for this nice offering of slaughter cattle was moderate. Black hided cattle with heavier weights that arrived overnight were the most sought after today. Beef demand could soften as consumer buying power declines, as interest and inflation rises. Estimated dressed cost 238.00 - 246.00. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower. Bulls steady to 2.00 higher.

Traditional slaughter weight lambs 5.00 to 12.00 higher. Demand for this nice offering of lambs was good. Slaughter ewes steady to 5.00 lower.
