As filed

Compared to last week: Choice slaughter steers were mostly 1.00-3.00 higher. Choice slaughter heifers mostly 3.00-6.00 higher. Not enough dairy steers for comparison. Many load lots of both steers and heifers offered today. Demand good on larger packages, moderate at other times.

Slaughter cows: Breaker cows were 1.00 higher. Boner and lean cows steady today. Not enough bulls for comparison.

Slaughter sheep: Less numbers this week for slaughter lambs. Lambs in the 100 lb range were mostly steady. Heavier lambs, 150 lbs were mostly 4.00 lower. Slaughter ewes remain steady.
