As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers 2.00 to 5.00 lower, couple of instances of steady on heifers, full decline seen on mixed colored and colored cattle as these were much harder to sell. Only moderate demand from packer buyers this week, the quality grade and dressing percent was similar to prior weeks, however packer buyers were intent on driving the market lower. Much better demand for No Implant cattle, that are black hided. Dressed cost ranged widely, from 283.00-293.00 as the market was very uneven. Many full loads in the offering, along with numerous part loads. Two way cattle buyers stepped in where they could and bought cattle that looked to be a value. Slaughter cows steady to 4.00 lower, bulls 3.00 to 4.00 lower.

Slaughter lambs steady to 1.00 lower, ewes 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Good demand for this large offering of attractive slaughter lambs, demand more moderate for ewes.
