Compared to last week:  Slaughter steers and heifers 10.00 lower.  Light demand 
for this nice offering of very attractive, long time fed, high quality grading 
steers and heifers.  Packer buyers were very reserved in their bidding as the 
country trade established at 218.00 yesterday already, and they finally gained 
leverage over the cattle feeders.  13 full loads of steers, 2 full loads of 
heifers, balance part loads and stock trailer loads.  

Slaughter lambs steady to 5.00 higher.  Feeder lambs sold with higher 
undertones.  Slaughter ewes unevenly steady.  Good demand for this large 
offering of slaughter lambs, moderate to good demand for slaughter ewes on a 
lighter offering.  Very good demand for feeder lambs as there were many farmer 
feeders on the seats actively bidding.
