Demand for this light offering of fed cattle was moderate. One half load of1500 lb cattle is all that was offered today. Some cattle carried a small amount of tag. Most cattle were hauled in overnight. Slight premium available for drug free and non implant cattle. Black hided cattle draw the most attention from buyers. The beautiful weather has farmers in the field planting. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold with steady undertones.

Traditional weight slaughter lambs 14.00 to 18.00 lower. Demand for this eye catching offering of sheep was moderate. Continue to see less traditional weight slaughter lambs and more light.
