Compared to last week:  Slaughter steers 20.00 to 23.00 lower, heifers 15.00 to 
17.00 lower.  Light to moderate demand for steers and heifers this week.  Lower 
futures contracts and direct trade occuring on Tuesday at 238.00-240.00, 
resulted in a much lower market this week.  Quality of cattle remains very 
attractive and the degree of finish is very high, but packers were able to gain 
leverage in the country and lowered their bids to get closer to the Aug Live 
Cattle contract.  4 full loads of steers, 6 full loads of heifers, balance part 
loads and stock trailer loads.  

Slaughter lambs 20.00 to 40.00 lower.  Slaughter ewes unevenly steady.  
Moderate demand for slaughter lambs.  Good to very good demand for feeder 
lambs.  Moderate to good demand for slaughter ewes.  The hot weather is making 
livestock transportation tougher and had an effect on the market this week.
