As filed

Compared to last week: Choice slaughter steers were mostly 3.00-4.00 higher, with no implant steers bringing a premium. Choice slaughter heifers had limited numbers today. No comparison. Too light a test last week for dairy steers. Upward trend noted. Several large strings of steers and dairy beef cross cattle in the offering, along with plenty of smaller groups. Attendance was lighter today, but demand was still good. Slaughter cows: Breaker cows 1.00 higher. Boner cows steady to 1.00 lower. Lean cows 3.00-4.00 lower. Limited number of bulls. No comparison.

Slaughter lambs: Lambs 50-60 lbs steady to 4.00 lower, 70-90 lbs mostly 11.00-12.00 higher, 100 lbs 17.00 higher with light numbers today. Slaughter ewes steady to 5.00 higher.
