As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers steady. Good demand for steers and heifers again this week. A lighter offering as market ready supplies are limited. The market was fairly active. Just 1 full load of steers, 1 full load of heifers, balance part loads and stock trailer loads. Weights continue to run heavy as cattle have performed extremely well over the winter.

Slaughter lambs 10.00 to 35.00 lower. Feeder lambs sold with lower undertones. Slaughter ewes steady to 5.00 lower, instances to 10.00 lower. Moderate to good demand for slaughter lambs, good to very good for slaughter ewes, good demand for feeder lambs. Many long strings of fat lambs, including full load lots, along with numerous small packages.
