Compared to last week: Slaughter steers steady to 1.00 higher, heifers steady to instances of 3.00. Holstein steers not tested last week for comparison. Moderate to good demand for this lighter offering of high quality grading steers and heifers. The market was fairly active, especially for those black hided, high Choice steers and heifers. A slight premium for no implant cattle this week. 6 full loads of steers, balance part loads and packages. Estimated dressed cost ranged from 291.00-294.00. Slaughter cows mostly steady, bulls not well tested.

Slaughter lambs 10.00 to 15.00 lower, too few feeder lambs for comparison, slaughter ewes mostly steady. Demand only moderate for slaughter lambs, the quality was attractive and there were many large bunches, the market was just under pressure this week. Light demand for slaughter ewes, however good demand for ewes in good enough shape to return back to the country as there are plenty of buyers willing to buy them and take them home.
