Compared to last week: Slaughter steers 3.00 to 4.00 lower, heifers steady. Holsteins in a very light test sold with higher undertones. Demand for this nice offering of slaughter cattle was good. Black hided cattle are in biggest demand. Slight premium shown for non implant cattle. Some cattle carried a small amount of tag this week due to the weather the past couple of weeks. Estimated dressed cost 248.00 - 257.00. CME corn closed higher while live cattle fell slightly. 11.7 million cattle were recorded on feed on December 1, 3 percent lower than the same time last year. During the month of November cattle slaughter was up 2 percent over the same month last year. Slaughter cows 4.00 to 6.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold with higher undertones.

Traditional slaughter weight lambs 10.00 to 12.00 higher. Demand for this nice offering was good. Slaughter ewes Good 4-5 & 2-3 steady to 2.00 higher, Utility 5.00 to 10.00 higher, Cull to few to make a meaningful comparison.
