As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers steady to 1.00 higher, heifers 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Demand for this eye appealing offering of fed cattle was good. Non Implant and Natural cattle brought a couple dollar premium today. Most cattle were hauled in overnight making weigh ups favorable for the buyer. Adverse weather conditions the last couple of weeks have added stress to the cattle as well as small amounts of tag and dust on their backs. Despite the weather the last couple weeks, there were 4 loads of cattle weighing 1600 lbs this week. Fed Cattle marketed was 6% lower in December over the same time last year. Demand for beef has lightened up, beef production was down 2% last week. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. Bulls 2.00 to 6.00 higher.

Traditional weight slaughter lambs 6.00 to 9.00 lower. Demand for this nice selection of sheep was moderate. Slaughter ewes 5.00 to 10.00 lower.
