As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers steady to 2.00 higher, heifers mostly steady. Good demand for steers and heifers again this week. Cattle continue to be very eye appealing as they are carrying a lot of finish, quality grade continues to be very high. Four full loads of steers, 1 big oversized load of heifers, balance part loads and stock trailer loads. The market was active but bids didn't roll in as fast as last week.

Slaughter lambs under 130 lbs 10.00 to 30.00 higher, over 130 lbs mostly steady. Slaughter ewes mostly steady.
