Compared to last week:  Slaughter steers and heifers steady to 2.00 lower.  
Good demand for this nice offering of steers and heifers.  The market was 
active, but not as active as a week ago.  The quality grade remains very high 
as the cattle are longtime fed.  Weighing condition was pretty attractive for 
buyers as many cattle were hauled in overnight.  Lots of volatility in the 
futures contracts in the past week but cattle sold readily this week.  6 full 
loads of steers, 1 full load of heifers, balance part loads and stock trailer 
loads. 

Slaughter lambs steady to 5.00 higher.  Slaughter ewes steady.  Good demand for 
all weights of slaughter lambs, very good demand for ewes.
