Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers steady to 3.00 lower.
Good demand for this nice offering of high quality grading, very attractive
steers and heifers. As the boxed beef trade has gained substantially, and the
CME Live Cattle contracts found some support and turned higher, packer buyers
were more active in their bidding this week. 8 full loads of steers, 1 full
load of heifers, balance part loads and stock trailer loads. Weighing
condition ranged from fair to full, fair overall as there were a lot of
overnight cattle in.
Slaughter lambs under 110 lbs 10.00 to 20.00 lower, 110-120 lbs 20.00 to 25.00
higher, 120-130 lbs mostly steady, over 130 lbs 5.00 to 15.00 higher.
Slaughter ewes 10.00 to 20.00 lower. Very good demand for more traditional
weight lambs, good demand for the non-traditional of which there was a very
large supply of. Slaughter ewes 10.00 to 20.00 lower. Feeder lambs sold with
lower undertones. Another very large offering of sheep. The market was active
throughout the sale.
