As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers mostly steady, Holsteins not well compared. Good demand for this nice offering of high quality grading steers and heifers. The market was fairly active, it was most active on no implant cattle as there was a premium for these cattle again this week. Estimated dressed cost ranged from 294.00-300.00. Slaughter cows steady to weak, bulls steady.

Traditional weight slaughter lambs steady to 5.00 higher. Good demand for this nice offering of slaughter lambs that sold on an active market. Slaughter ewes mostly steady.
