Compared to last week:  Slaughter steers and heifers 1.00 to 2.00 lower, couple 
of instances to 5.00 lower.  Demand was only moderate and the market wasn't as 
active.  A nice offering of high quality grading, attractive steers and heifers 
but with the beef trade in decline packer buyers were more reserved in their 
bidding.  Cash fed cattle were lower in the country last week and packers kept 
that mindset at the action and bid accordingly.  

Slaughter lambs unevenly steady.  Slaughter ewes mostly steady.  Good demand 
for this large offering of slaughter lambs.  Good demand for feeder lambs as 
there were some nice offerings in a light flesh condition.  Good demand remains 
for slaughter ewes.
