Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers 10.00 lower. Light demand for this nice offering of very attractive, long time fed, high quality grading steers and heifers. Packer buyers were very reserved in their bidding as the country trade established at 218.00 yesterday already, and they finally gained leverage over the cattle feeders. 13 full loads of steers, 2 full loads of heifers, balance part loads and stock trailer loads.
Slaughter lambs steady to 5.00 higher. Feeder lambs sold with higher undertones. Slaughter ewes unevenly steady. Good demand for this large offering of slaughter lambs, moderate to good demand for slaughter ewes on a lighter offering. Very good demand for feeder lambs as there were many farmer feeders on the seats actively bidding.
