As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers steady to 1.00 lower, couple instances of 2.00 lower, heifers 1.00 to 3.00 lower. A lighter run as farmer feeders are busy with fall harvest. Moderate demand for this offering of very attractive, high quality grading steers and heifers. Weighing condition was fair this week as more cattle were hauled overnight. Higher Live Cattle futures yesterday but packers not willing to give more than last week, internet buyers were active this week. 5 full loads of steers, 2 full loads of heifers, balance part loads and stock trailer loads.

Slaughter lambs mostly steady. Feeder lambs not well compared. Slaughter ewes steady to firm. Good demand for slaughter lambs. Very good demand for feeder lambs. Good demand for slaughter ewes on a lighter offering.
