Compared to last week: Too light a test last week to make a good comparison today on choice slaughter steers and choice slaughter heifers. CME live cattle futures up 1.00 today. Many load lots of both steers and heifers, along with plenty of smaller strings in the offering today. Demand good throughout the sale both in the stands and on the internet. Slaughter cows: Breaker cows 1.00 lower. Boner cows steady. Lean cows steady to 2.00 lower. Bulls 2.00 higher.
Slaughter lambs: 60-70 lb lambs were 4.00-5.00 lower today, 90 lb lambs 3.00-8.00 lower. Not enough lambs over 100 lbs to establish a trend. Slaughter ewes steady to 3.00 higher.
