Compared to last week:  Lambs 50-60lbs, 8.00 higher; 60-100lbs, 7.00-10.00 
lower.  Good Slaughter and Utility Ewes, 10.00 lower.  Smaller sale from last 
weeks, but demand was good for today's offering of feeder lambs and slaughter 
ewes.  Some of the lambs were showing the toll of a long, hot summer.  Producer 
and buyers are watching and discussing the price of diesel and are concerned 
about the future of trucking options, with no relief in sight.
