Compared to last week:  Slaughter steers and heifers 5.00 to 8.00 lower.  
Demand moderate at best for this offering of hard fed, high quality grading 
steers and heifers.  Lighter weight cattle seen this week, yet packer buyers 
weren't going to compete very hard to buy cattle.  6 full loads of steers in 
the offering, 2 full loads of heifers, balance part loads and stock trailer 
loads.  

Slaughter lambs 5.00 to 10.00 higher.  Slaughter ewes traded mixed, Good flesh 
ewes unevenly steady, Utility ewes 10.00 to 20.00 lower.  Good demand for all 
weights of slaughter lambs, very good demand for feeder lambs as there were 
many buyers on the seats wanting to buy these light lambs, demand for slaughter 
ewes more moderate.
