As filed

Compared to last week: Choice slaughter steers were mostly 3.00-5.00 lower. Choice slaughter heifers mostly 3.00-6.00 lower. Holstein slaughter cattle have been scarce the last two weeks. Many large groups offered today. A decline on the live futures board has left the market weak this week, but demand was still good with some hesitation on colored cattle. Slaughter cows: Breaker cows steady to 1.00 higher. Boner cows are steady. Lean cows steady to 1.00 higher. There was a nice run of quality bulls today but limited numbers last sale for comparison.

Slaughter sheep: Light lambs had lower undertones this week. Heavier lambs, 150 lbs range were steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter ewes had a lighter offering today and came in 10.00 lower than last week.
