As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers steady. Good demand for this lighter, seasonal offering of longtime, hard fed steers and heifers. This week's offering was primarily stock trailer loads, few part loads as the supply of market ready cattle is tight.

Slaughter lambs under 100 lbs steady, except 60-70 lbs 5.00 to 15.00 higher, over 100 lbs 6.00 to 10.00 higher. Slaughter ewes 10.00 to 20.00 higher. Good demand for both traditional and non-traditional slaughter lambs, very good demand for ewes. Good demand for feeder lambs.
