As filed

Compared to last week: Limited numbers this week for choice slaughter steers and choice slaughter heifers. No trend available. CME live cattle futures down 1.00 today. Most of the sale consisted of smaller strings, along with a couple load lots. Good demand both online and in the stands. Slaughter cows; Breaker cows 2.00-4.00 higher. Too light a test on Boner cows. Lean cows steady to 1.00 higher. Limited number of bull, no comparison.

Slaughter lambs: 60 lbs 10.00-11.00 lower, 70 lbs 1.00 lower, 80 lbs 7.00 lower, 90 lbs 6.00-10.00 higher. Slaughter ewes: Steady to 5.00 higher today.
