Compared to last week:    Slaughter steers and heifers not well compared, 
lighter offerings made for a poor comparison.  Very good demand from two way 
buyers who were quick to bid on cattle that could take further feeding, while 
packer buyers were more reserved in their bidding.  With the ground conditions 
finally dry enough to return to the field, few cattle producers had the time to 
spare to haul cattle to town, instead focusing their efforts on trying to 
finish corn harvest.  CME Live Cattle futures turned around early in the week, 
but still failing to move back to their previous levels.  2 full loads of 
steers, 1 full load of heifers, balance part loads and stock trailer loads.  

Slaughter lambs under 140 lbs 10.00 to 15.00 lower, over 140 lbs 5.00 to 6.00 
lower.  Slaughter ewes sold with steady to higher undertones compared to last 
week's lighter offering.  Good demand for all classes for this record large 
sheep and goat auction.  A very large offering of slaughter lambs.  A nice 
offering of long strings of light fleshed feeder lambs, along with numerous 
smaller packages.
