Compared to last week:  Slaughter steers and heifers fully steady.  Very good 
demand for this light, seasonal run of steers and heifers.  The market was very 
active.  Just stock trailer loads offered, no load lots as supplies of market 
ready fat cattle remain tight.  

Slaughter lambs steady, except 100-120 lbs 10.00 higher.  Slaughter ewes 10.00 
to 20.00 lower.  Feeder lambs sold with lower undertones.  Good demand for this 
large offering of slaughter lambs, 1 full load of slaughter lambs offered, 
several half loads, many good sized bunches.  Not as many feeder lamb buyers 
this week.  Moderate to good demand for slaughter ewes.
