As filed

Compared to last week: Choice slaughter steers 6.00-7.00 lower. No implant and drug free steers bringing a premium. Choice slaughter heifers 3.00-5.00 lower. Not enough dairy steers for comparison. Many load lots, along with plenty of smaller strings in the offering. Good demand throughout the sale.

Slaughter lambs: Lambs 70-90 lbs mostly 35.00-37.00 higher. Lambs 110-130 lbs 9.00-12.00 lower, 130-150 lbs 7.00-8.00 lower. Slaughter ewes mostly 5.00-11.00 lower. Many large strings of lambs in the offering today. Good demand both online and in the arena.
