Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers mostly steady. Good demand for this nice offering of high quality grading steers and heifers. Weighing conditions were fair, as there were many cattle in overnight and the hides were pretty clean. Cattle carrying heavier amounts of tag sold at the low end of the price ranges. The best demand remains for black hided cattle that have never been implanted. The market was active, in spite of the futures contracts being lower. A large offering of slaughter cows, the market was extremely active. Bids moved by whole dollars, very few instances where auctioneers had to ask for a .50 bid, the pace was very rapid. Fleshy cows, Breakers and Premium Whites, steady to firm. Boner cows 5.00 to 10.00 higher, Lean cows sharply higher. Slaughter bulls 5.00 to 10.00 higher.

Slaughter lambs under 100 lbs steady to firm, over 100 lbs steady to 5.00 higher, instances to 10.00 higher on those over 150 lbs. Slaughter ewes steady to 5.00 higher. Good demand for slaughter lambs, the lamb market was active, no matter what the lambs weighed. Very good demand remains for slaughter ewes, especially on those big Good fleshed ewes.
