As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers steady, No Implant steers and heifers sold with higher undertones. Good demand for steers and heifers, very good demand for No Implant cattle and for those two-way types. The market was more active this week, yet not all packer buyers participated. 1 full load of steers, 3 full loads of heifers, with the rest being stock trailer loads. Boxed beef values continue to march higher, supporting the market at these levels.

Slaughter lambs under 120 lbs mostly steady, over 120 lbs steady to 4.00 higher. Feeder lambs steady. Slaughter ewes steady. Good demand for all weights of slaughter lambs, good demand for feeder lambs, moderate demand for slaughter ewes. Another large offering of slaughter lambs, including 1 full load of 148 lbs lambs.
