Compared to last week: Fed steers and heifers steady to 1.00 higher. Holstein steers 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Demand for this eye appealing group of slaughter cattle was good. Grade and cleanliness really affected the buyers decision. Muddy pen conditions are pulling the dressing percentage lower than normal. Consumers continue to demand higher quality beef cuts. Several primes available today. Year over year slaughter is 2.5% behind last year's pace. 14 semi loads offered today. Estimated dressed cost 265.00 - 272.00. CME Live cattle was lower while corn was higher. Slaughter cows 4.00 to 8.00 higher. Bulls 7.00 to 8.00 higher.

Traditional weight slaughter lambs 1.00 to 2.00 higher. Demand for this nice offering was good. Lambs under 100 lbs were the hot commodity this week. Buyers were preparing for the upcoming holidays and the demand for lighter weight lambs. Slaughter ewes Good 2-3 and Cull 5.00 to 10.00 lower, Good 4-5 and Utility 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Meat and meat cross goats were very sought after today.
