Compared to last week: Choice slaughter steers 1.00-4.00 lower. Choice slaughter heifers 5.00 lower. Heifers with no implants took less of a discount at 1.00 lower. Dairy steers 4.00 lower. Many load lots, along with a good deal of smaller strings in the offering today. Demand was good, despite the CME live cattle futures dropping last week, and continuing to be lower today. Slaughter cows: Breaker and Boner cows 1.00 higher. Lean cows 2.00 lower. Not enough bulls last week for comparison.

Slaughter lambs: Lambs under 100 lbs were 12.00-30.00 higher today, with lighter numbers last week. Lambs over 100 lbs 2.00-5.00 higher. Slaughter ewes were steady to 5.00 higher.
