As filed

Compared to last week: Choice slaughter steers were 3.00 higher. Choice slaughter heifers steady. Not enough dairy steers for comparison. Several load lots and many smaller groups in the offering today. Demand was good throughout the sale.

Slaughter cows: Limited numbers of slaughter cows today. Not enough breaker or boner cows for comparison. Lean cows remain steady.

Slaughter sheep: Light numbers of slaughter lambs today, due to the holiday. Lambs in the 100 lb range were steady to 6.00 higher. Slaughter ewes mostly steady to 5.00 higher, at times reaching 10.00 higher.
