Compared to last week:  Slaughter steers and heifers 3.00 to 5.00 higher.  Very 
good demand for this lighter, seasonal offering.  Four full loads, balance part 
loads and stock trailer loads.  Cattle continue to be very attractive and eye 
appealing as they are carrying such a high degree of finish and they have clean 
hides.  The market was active as packer buyers were quick to bid to get the 
cattle bought that they need.  The CME Live Cattle futures continues to trade 
higher, which is lending support to the market.  

Slaughter lambs under 100 lbs 15.00 to 30.00 higher, over 100 lbs 10.00 to 
15.00 higher.  Slaughter ewes steady to 5.00 higher.  Improved demand for 
slaughter lambs this week, after the large volume offered a week ago.  Good 
demand for slaughter ewes.

AgHost Livestock Close

It was a fruitful day for the livestock complex as all three of the markets ended the day stronger. It was especially a big-hitting week for the cattle complex as traders pushed the contracts higher through Friday's close thanks to the added support of yet-again record-breaking cash cattle prices.
