Compared to last week: Fed steers and heifers were very light last week, making it hard to call a meaningful market comparison. Lower undertones were evident with steers. Demand for this eye appealing offering was good. Several load lots of steers and heifers today. Not much of a premium was shown for non implant and program cattle. Black hided cattle were in biggest demand creating wide price gaps. Estimated dressed cost 287.00 - 296.00. CME Live Futures closed lower along with Corn. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 1.00 to 2.00 higher.

Traditional weight slaughter lambs 10.00 to 11.00 lower. Demand for this eye catching offering was good. Several large lots. Condition of fleece and black face were decisions influencing buyers eagerness to continue bidding, 70 lbs - 90 lbs sold steadyish this week. Slaughter ewes 5.00 to 15.00 lower.
