Compared to last week:  Slaughter steers and heifers steady to 2.00 lower.  
Light to moderate for this nice offering of hard fed, high quality grading 
steers and heifers.  The market was less active this week.  Weighing condition 
fair overall as there were a lot of cattle hauled in overnight.  6 full loads 
of steers, balance part loads and stock trailer loads.

Slaughter lambs mostly steady.  Slaughter ewes 10.00 to 15.00 higher.  Moderate 
to good demand for slaughter lambs, improved demand for those non-traditional 
weight slaughter lambs.  Very good demand for slaughter ewes as there were many 
buyers on the seats actively bidding.  Good demand for the light fleshed lambs 
suitable for feeding.
