Compared to last week:  Slaughter steers and heifers steady to 2.00 higher.  
Good demand for this nice offering of longtime fed steers and heifers.  Weights 
continue heavy as feeding conditions have been rather ideal over the winter, 
and cattle producers fed longer as was necessary to reach profitable levels.  
The market was rather active as the futures contracts continue their rally with 
the June contract leading the way.  2 full loads of steers, 7 full loads of 
heifers, balance part loads and stock trailer loads.  

Slaughter lambs under 100 lbs 10.00 to 30.00 lower, 100 lbs and heavier steady 
to firm.   Feeder lambs sold with lower undertones, slaughter ewes steady to 
firm.  Moderate to good demand for non-traditional weight slaughter lambs, good 
demand for those of the heavier, traditional weights.  There was a large 
offering of those lightweight, light fleshed lambs to feed.  Good demand for 
slaughter ewes.  Demand for feeder lambs was more moderate than has been seen 
in recent weeks.  Good demand for the long strings of bred ewes.
