As filed

Compared to last week: Fed steers 2.00 to 5.00 higher, heifers 1.00 to 5.00 higher. Holsteins steady to slightly higher undertones, in a very light test last week. Demand for this eye appealing offering of slaughter cattle was good. Cattle grading Prime and Choice are in biggest demand. There is little evidence indicating consumers are switching to lower value products and away from the more expensive cuts. Not a good premium for no implant cattle. Nice weather has lots of farmers in the field, making the crowd in the seats a little lighter than normal. Report from April 1, stated, marketing of fed cattle totaled 1.98 million, 1% lower than the same time last year. Federally inspected beef production down nearly 5.9% or 320 million pounds year to date. Slaughter cows steady to 4.00 higher. Bulls steady.

Traditional weight slaughter lambs steady to 3.00 higher. Demand for this nice offering was good. Seeing less traditional weight lambs and more lighter weight. Several lots of lambs weighing 50 lbs - 90 lbs offered. The lighter weights sold fairly soft this week. Slaughter ewes Good 2-3 20.00 to 30.00 lower, Utility steady to 5.00 lower, Cull 10.00 to 15.00 lower while, Good 4-5 sold 5.00 to 15.00 higher. Black faced, thick built ewes were in higher demand.
