Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers mostly 7.00 to 10.00
lower. Light to moderate demand for steers and heifers this week, packers
buyers were slow to start bidding, but area cattle feeders were quick to step
in and buy cattle. Packer interest improved as the sale progressed. Quality
remains very attractive, cattle continue to weigh heavy as the weather and the
market made for very heavy cattle this winter. The market was fairly active as
cattle feeders were active bidders, while packers were not as active as in
recent weeks. 8 full loads of steers, 2 full loads of heifers, balance part
loads and stock trailer loads.
Slaughter lambs under 120 lbs 10.00 to 20.00 higher, 120 lbs and over mostly
steady. Feeder lambs sold with higher undertones. Slaughter ewes steady to
5.00 lower. Very good demand for non-traditional weight slaughter lambs, good
demand for traditional weight lambs. Moderate demand for slaughter ewes, not
as many active buyers as in recent weeks. Very good demand for feeder lambs.
