Compared to last week:  Slaughter steers and heifers 4.00 to 5.00 higher.  Very 
good demand for this lighter offering of steers and heifers, the market was 
much more active than last week.  Market ready supplies are limited and packers 
had to compete heavily to get cattle bought.  Another day of good gains in the 
CME Live Cattle contracts helped to support the market.  2 full loads, balance 
part loads and stock trailer loads.  Cattle remain very attractive as they are 
clean for this time of the year and are very well finished.  

Slaughter lambs under 100 lbs 20.00 to 50.00 lower, instances to 60.00 lower, 
over 100 lbs 10.00 to 20.00 lower except 100-110 lbs steady.  Slaughter ewes 
steady to 5.00 lower.  Feeder lambs sold much lower in a narrow comparison.  
Another very large offering of slaughter lambs, the market was not as active 
and demand was light to moderate for the lighter weight lambs as there has been 
such a large amount of those lambs offered in the last few weeks.  Demand was a 
little better for the traditional weight lambs but still there was a lot of 
pressure on the market.  2 full loads of 155 lbs lambs offered.
