As filed

Compared to last week: Choice slaughter steers were steady with instances up to 4.00 higher. Choice slaughter heifers steady to 2.00 higher. Not enough dairy steers for comparison. Many load lots of both steers and heifers in the offering today, along with lots of smaller packages. Good demand throughout the sale in the arena and on the internet. Slaughter cows: Breaker cows 3.00 higher. Boner and Lean cows 4.00 higher. Not enough bulls for comparison today.

Slaughter lambs: Lambs 100 lbs were 2.00 higher this week. Slaughter ewes were 19.00 lower, with limited quantities.
