As filed

Compared to last week: Choice slaughter steers were 1.00-2.00 higher with instances 3.00 higher for drug free and steers with no implants. Choice slaughter heifers 1.00 higher with instances 6.00 higher for no implants, with a larger offering of heifers this week. Not enough dairy steers for comparison. Several load lots of both steers and heifers in the offering, along with many smaller packages. Good demand throughout the sale, especially for drug free cattle. Slaughter cows: Breaker cows 5.00 higher today. Boner cows 1.00 higher. Lean cows 3.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 1.00 higher.

Slaughter lambs: Lambs 100 lbs were 22.00 higher this week. Slaughter ewes steady to 5.00 higher.
