As filed

Compared to last week: Last week's cattle were implant free and sold at a premium, this week's were conventional cattle. Price comparison not applicable. Demand for light offering of eye appealing cattle was good.

Traditional slaughter weight lambs 10.00 to 15.00 higher. Demand for this nice offering of sheep was very good. There was a new buyer today, making the bidding very exciting. Slaughter ewes steady except Good 4-5 27.00 to 30.00 higher.
