Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers 5.00 to 6.00 higher. Good
demand for this nice offering of attractive, high quality grading, long time
fed steers and heifers. Packer buyers were willing to give more money this
week to buy cattle as last week's country trade topped out at 241.00. 3 full
loads of steers, 7 full loads of heifers. Weighing condition ran from fair to
full, cattle hides are packing a good amount of tag. The market was more
active than it has been in recent weeks as the futures contracts have risen
back above 240.00.
Slaughter lambs under 120 lbs 40.00 to 50.00 higher, over 120 lbs 15.00 to
25.00 higher. Slaughter ewes 20.00 to 30.00 higher. Very good demand for all
weights of slaughter lambs. Demand for slaughter ewes was very good as there
were many buyers competing heavily and bidding aggressively to buy ewes. As
the transportation issues seen last week, in the eastern part of the country
have improved now, buyers were willing to chase the market higher to get the
stock bought that they need. Good demand for feeder lambs, but the stronger
demand for slaughter lambs led to few lambs going to feed.
