Compared to the sale two weeks ago: Choice Slaughter steers 2.00-3.00 lower, with instances 6.00-7.00 lower in cattle over 1500 lbs. No implant steers bringing a 2.00 plus premium today. Choice slaughter heifers 3.00 lower. Dairy steers steady with light numbers today. Many load lots, along with plenty of smaller strings in the offering. Demand good, both in the arena and online. Slaughter cows: Breaker and Boner cows steady to 1.00 lower. Lean cows steady to 2.00 lower. Not enough bulls last week for comparison.

Slaughter lambs: Limited numbers for light lambs. No comparison. Lambs 120 lbs 8.00-9.00 higher, 130 lbs 12.00 higher, 140-150 lbs 16.00 higher. Slaughter ewes: Ewes over 150 lbs 17.00 higher, with instances 25.00-30.00 higher. Ewes over 200 lbs 10.00-14.00 higher with light numbers this week.
