Slaughter steers and heifers 10.00 to 12.00 higher.  Very good demand for this 
nice offering of steers and heifers.  More new crop, calf fed steers and 
heifers showing up, fewer of the heavyweight cattle.  The market was incredibly 
active as packer buyers were quick to bid and advanced rapidly.  4 full loads 
of steers, 1 full load of heifers, balance stock trailer loads.  

Slaughter lambs under 120 lbs 20.00 to 25.00 lower, over 120 lbs 5.00 to 10.00 
lower.  Slaughter ewes 8.00 to 10.00 lower.  Another large offering of 
slaughter lambs, including two full loads of fat lambs.  Good demand for the 
traditional weight fat lambs, moderate for the non-traditional.  The market was 
not as active on the non-traditional weight slaughter lambs as the supply 
remains plentiful.  Demand was lighter on the slaughter ewes again this week.
