As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers sold with steadyish undertones, Heifers sold steadyish to high undertones. Holsteins in a very light test sold with higher undertones. Demand for this nice offering of slaughter cattle was good. 6 semi loads offered today with good weigh ups as most were hauled in over night. Black hided cattle are in biggest demand. Consumer demand for nice cuts of beef are likely strong with the Holiday season only a few days away. The weather is making this week challenging for producers and auction barns. Snow and below freezing temps started today, likely making for a lighter than normal sale. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Bulls to few to make a meaningful comparison.

Traditional slaughter lambs sold steadyish this week. Demand for this lighter than normal offering was good. Slaughter ewes 5.00 to 7.00 lower. Special offering of bred hair goats today.

Merry Christmas Everyone!
