Compared to last week:  Slaughter steers and heifers 2.00 to 3.00 lower.  
Moderate for this lighter offering of steers and heifers.  As the Live Cattle 
futures have rolled down to the $231 level, and boxed beef values continue to 
decline, packer buyers have set their sights to buy cattle lower.  Weights of 
cattle remain heavy but these cattle grade very high.  5 full loads of steers, 
2 full loads of heifers, balance part loads and stock trailer loads.  

Slaughter lambs steady to 2.00 higher.  Slaughter ewes 10.00 to 20.00 lower, 
instances of 25.00 to 30.00 lower.  Good demand for this nice offering of very 
attractive traditional weight slaughter lambs.  Moderate demand for feeder 
lambs, of which there were few, light demand for slaughter ewes.
