Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers steady to 1.00 lower, Holstein steers 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Moderate to good demand from packer buyers for this nice offering of high quality grading, hard fed steers and heifers. Weighing conditions average to full, hides continue to be dirty. Estimated dressed cost 196.00-200.00 this week. Not as many two way buyers present this week but those that were here were active bidders on cattle that looked to be able to stand more days on feed. Slaughter cows and bulls steady with Monday's sale.
Slaughter lambs too lightly tested to allow a good market comparison. Slaughter ewes sold with lower undertones. Feeder lambs not well tested. A light offering of sheep this week after a two day blizzard over the weekend.
