Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers 1.00 to 2.00 higher. Good demand for this nice offering of high quality grading, hard fed steers and heifers. 6 full loads of steers, 3 full loads of heifers, balance part loads and stock trailer loads. The market was fairly active as the cash trade in the country continues to hold up to 245.00 and boxed beef prices continue to advance. Weighing condition ran towards the full side, there were cattle hauled in overnight however.

Slaughter lambs under 130 lbs 5.00 to 8.00 higher, over 130 lbs 10.00 to 13.00 higher. Good ewes 5.00 higher, other grades not well compared. Very good demand for this large offering of traditional weight slaughter lambs. Good demand for feeder lambs as there was one string of nearly 400 head offered.
