As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Fed steers sold steady to 1.00 lower, heifers steady. Holsteins sold with lower undertones. Demand for this large eye appealing offering was good to very good. Cattle grading Prime and Choice are in the biggest demand. Most cattle were hauled in overnight making weighing conditions favorable for the buyer. With the winter weather over the past couple of week some cattle carried a small amount of tag. Estimated dressed cost 250.00 - 258.00. Consumers are driving demand for higher grading beef. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter Bulls 1.00 to 2.00 lower.

Traditional weight slaughter lambs 2.00 to 5.00 lower. Demand for this very large offering of attractive lambs was good. Slaughter ewes steady to 5.00 lower.
