Due to the holiday season, there hasn't been a recently reported slaughter cattle sale. Trend is not applicable. No implant and drug free cattle topped the market today, bringing a minimum premium of 4.00-5.00. Many load lots, along with plenty of smaller packages in this larger offering today. Good demand throughout the sale.
Slaughter lambs: Compared to last week 70 lbs lambs 27 lower, 80 lbs 16.00 lower. Lambs 130-140 lbs 4.00-7.00 higher. Slaughter ewes mostly 7.00 lower. Nice clean stock today. Big offering, including large consignments and replacement sheep, bringing good demand.
