Compared to last week: Slaughter steers 1.00 to 2.00 higher, heifers 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Holstein steers mostly steady. Very good demand for this large offering of steers and heifers. There were many No Implant cattle and there continues to be a good premium for these cattle as this is where the market is the most active. 9 full loads of steers, 2 full loads of heifers, along with numerous part loads of packages. Packers aren't shying away from heavy weight cattle as they are seeking high quality grading cattle. Average dressed cost of conventional cattle about 253.00. Slaughter cows 3.00 to 4.00 lower, bulls not well tested recently to offer a good comparison.

Slaughter lambs steady to 3.00 lower. Feeder lambs and slaughter ewes too lightly tested to offer an accurate comparison with this week's much larger offering. Good demand for slaughter lambs yet packers didn't have to chase the market to get lambs bought as the sheer volume of lambs was so great. Very good demand for feeder lambs, good demand for slaughter ewes. A very large offering of goats this week and the market was active.
