Compared to the sale last week: Winter storm blew through the area early this week, leaving ice and snow covered roads. Lighter offering today, due to weather conditions.

Slaughter lambs: With limited numbers today, lambs under 100 lbs were mostly 5.00 lower with instances 20.00-25.00 lower, over 100 lbs steady today. Not enough slaughter ewes for comparison.
