As filed

Compared to last week: Very light offering of cattle today. Steers and Heifers to few to make a meaningful comparison. Holsteins none available. Demand for this offering moderate. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 5.00 lower. No Bulls today.

Traditional weight slaughter lambs steady to 1.00 higher. Demand for this light offering was good. With the 4th of July yesterday, the offering this week was much lighter than normal. The trend with lighter weight lambs being offered continues. Slaughter weight lambs are in good demand, as there are not many coming to the sale. 90 lb lambs were slightly higher this week. Slaughter ewes 5.00 to 10.00 higher.
