Compared to last week: Slaughter steers 1.00 higher, heifers mostly steady, Holstein steers 1.00 higher. Good to very good demand for steers and heifers, however to reach the top of the market the cattle have to be fairly clean, black hided, and implant free. Cattle hides are carrying quite a bit of tag as pen conditions have been wet as the snow starts to melt. Estimated dressed cost ranged from 262.00-270.00 as dressing percents vary quite a bit due to the difference in weighing conditions and dirty hides. 6 full loads of steers offered, 4 full loads of heifers, balance part loads and packages. Slaughter cows and bulls steady to firm in narrow comparison to Monday's limited offering.

Traditional weight slaughter lambs 7.00 to 9.00 higher. Slaughter ewes 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Good demand for traditional weight slaughter lambs, very good demand for the non-traditional light weight lambs as all lambs offered this week over 50 lbs went to slaughter accounts. Demand was very uneven for slaughter ewes, best demand for ewes in good enough condition to return to the country. Good demand for the feeder lambs but lamb feeders were often out bid by the packer buyers.
