Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers unevenly steady with 
limited comparable trades. A considerably larger number then steers on the 
offering. Fats were on the lighter end for the most part with a few strings of 
extra heavy ones thrown in. Demand good considering the crash in the boxed beef 
prices today and the fundamentals not in the producer's favor. There is much 
uncertainty and anticipation with how negotiated fed cattle will trade this 
week.

Slaughter lambs under 130 lbs. 15.00 to 30.00 lower, over 130 lbs. 15.00 
higher. Slaughter ewes 15.00 higher. Demand for slaughter lambs and ewes mostly 
good with the large majority being ewes and slaughter lambs. A nice selection 
overall with a few loads of bred ewes seeing good demand.

NONCOMMERCIAL OUTLOOK: Noncommercial corn traders held a net-long futures position of 375,360 contracts as of March 24, and were net-buyers of 63,018 contracts during the CFTC reporting period as prices rallied on bullish influence from energy markets due to the ongoing war in the Middle East.
