Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers steady to 1.00 higher, Holstein steers 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Demand remains rather good as all packers participated again this week. A lighter run this week but the quality was very attractive again. 7 full loads of steers and 4 loads of heifers with the balance part loads and packages. Weighing condition was fair with most cattle costing 161.00-164.00. Slaughter cows 5.00 to 7.00 higher compared to last week, bulls 6.00 to 9.00 higher.
Traditional slaughter lambs 10.00 to 15.00 lower, non-traditional lambs sold with a sharply higher undertone. Feeder lambs not well compared.
Slaughter ewes 5.00 to 10.00 lower, except Good 3-4 ewes sold with firm to higher undertone.
