Very good demand for this nice offering of high quality grading steers and 
heifers.  The market was very active, two way buyers continue to push packer 
buyers.  8 full loads of steers,  1 full load of heifers, balance part loads 
and stock trailer loads.  

Slaughter lambs steady to instances of 5.00 higher.  Slaughter ewes sold with 
higher undertones compared to last week's light test.  Good demand for 
slaughter lambs of all weights.  Very good demand for ewes.  Moderate demand 
for feeder lambs, of which there were few of those lambs on offer.
