As filed

Compared to last week: Fed steers steady to 3.00 higher. Heifers steady to 1.oo higher. Holsteins in another light test this week sold with lower undertones. Demand for this nice offering of slaughter cattle was good. The biggest demand is for high quality. high grading cattle. 2 pot loads of drug free cattle offered this week along with a few smaller packages of non implant cattle. Some cattle were carrying a small amount of tag due to the big storm and rain that hit late last week. Slaughter cows and bulls were steady to strong.

Traditional weight slaughter lambs 4.00 to 9.00 lower. Demand for this nice offering of slaughter weight lambs was moderate. The offering continues to be smaller than years past. Producers are selling lambs at lighter weights this year with higher cost of gain. 70 lb lambs were slightly lower, while 80 lbs and 90lbs were significantly lower. Slaughter ewes steady to 5.00 lower.
