Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Very good demand for steers and heifers. Market ready supplies remain pretty limited and the market was active as buyers had to give more to get cattle bought. 1 full load of steers, 3 full loads of heifers, balance part loads and stock trailer loads.
Slaughter lambs under 120 lbs 15.00 to 30.00 lower, over 120 lbs 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Feeder lambs sold with higher undertones, slaughter ewes unevenly steady. Moderate demand for a large offering of slaughter lambs. Very good demand seen for feeder lambs as there were plenty of buyers on the seats wanting good, light fleshed lambs. Moderate demand for ewes.
