As filed

Compared to last week: Too light a test last week for a comparison today. Cattle with no implants bringing a premium. Upward trend on dairy steers today. Many load lots, along with plenty of smaller packages in the offering today. Demand was good throughout the sale. Slaughter cows: Breaker cows steady to 1.00 higher. Not enough Boner cows last week for a comparison. Lean cows were mostly 1.00 higher.

Slaughter lambs: 60-70 lbs 6.00-9.00 lower, 80 lbs 10.00-15.00 lower, 90 lbs 20.00-21.00 lower today. With lighter numbers this week 100 lb lambs 13.00 to sharply lower. Slaughter ewes were mostly 5.00 lower today.
