Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Steers 
with no-implant papers brought 4.00 to 5.00 higher with non-implanted heifers 
mostly steady. Moderate to good demand for this offering of heavier cattle that 
have been finished longer. A few lots of cattle were very clean and sleek 
looking with some tag noticed as well on others. Boxed beef prices were lower 
today but that didn't stop the cattle complex from gaining more momentum. 
Packer slaughter levels remain historically low.

Slaughter lambs under 130 lbs traded 20.00 to 30.00 higher, over 130 lbs 8.00 
to 12.00 higher. Slaughter ewes steady to 5.00 higher on a lighter test. Demand 
good to very good on slaughter lambs. Active bidding noticed all throughout the 
sheep offering. Slaughter ewes moderate to good demand seen. A nice selection 
of bred ewes that lamb anytime or in March were on offer as well.
