Demand was good for the duration of the sale. Slaughter cows: Compared to the sale last Monday, breaker, boner and lean cows remain steady. Not enough bulls the last two weeks for comparison.

Slaughter sheep: lambs in the 100 lb range were 5.00 lower this week, 150 lbs were 7.00 higher. Slaughter ewes were limited in numbers today. They were mostly steady.
