As filed

Compared to last week: Fed steers and heifers sold with stronger undertones. Holsteins sold steadyish. There was not a good comparison to truly test the market today since last week was very light. 8 pot loads offered. Some cattle carried a fair amount of tag slowing down bidders excitement. Estimated dressed cost 287.00 - 294.00. Cash prices last week rallied to a new record high that was previously set at 171.38 in November of 2014. The surge in prices reflects shrinking supply of market ready cattle and declining weights. With the nice weather and summer upon us comes grilling season. The question will be: Are consumers willing to continue paying high prices for beef with possibly higher prices on the horizon? Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 higher. Bulls steady.

Traditional weight slaughter lambs 17.00 to 20.00 lower. Demand for this large offering of lambs was good. Several buyers in the seats, as well as, on line Light weight lambs 60 lbs and under were the most sought after today. Young, fat, black faced ewes created a bidding frenzy. Slaughter ewes 5.00 to 15.00 higher.
