As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers not well compared, lighter offerings made for a poor comparison. Very good demand from two way buyers who were quick to bid on cattle that could take further feeding, while packer buyers were more reserved in their bidding. With the ground conditions finally dry enough to return to the field, few cattle producers had the time to spare to haul cattle to town, instead focusing their efforts on trying to finish corn harvest. CME Live Cattle futures turned around early in the week, but still failing to move back to their previous levels. 2 full loads of steers, 1 full load of heifers, balance part loads and stock trailer loads.

Slaughter lambs under 140 lbs 10.00 to 15.00 lower, over 140 lbs 5.00 to 6.00 lower. Slaughter ewes sold with steady to higher undertones compared to last week's lighter offering. Good demand for all classes for this record large sheep and goat auction. A very large offering of slaughter lambs. A nice offering of long strings of light fleshed feeder lambs, along with numerous smaller packages.
