Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Very good demand for this nice offering of high quality grading steers and heifers. The market was very active, two way buyers continue to push packer buyers. 8 full loads of steers, 1 full load of heifers, balance part loads and stock trailer loads.

Slaughter lambs steady to instances of 5.00 higher. Slaughter ewes sold with higher undertones compared to last week's light test. Good demand for slaughter lambs of all weights. Very good demand for ewes. Moderate demand for feeder lambs, of which there were few of those lambs on offer.
