Compared to two weeks ago:  The only comparable weight in lambs was 80-90lbs, 
which were sharply lower.  Good Slaughter Ewes were 15.00 lower.  Comparable 
Replacement Ewes were trending lower.   Good demand for todays offering, after 
a slow start with technical/computer issues.  Not as many Replacement Ewes as 
the the last reported sale, but the market was still good, with a few extra 
buyers in the seats.  Unseasonably warm weather continues in the area, with 
producers hoping for some spring moisture.
