Compared to last week, Slaughter steers sold 1.00-2.00 lower on a light
test. Demand was good at the lower prices. High dressing Lean Steers are
steers sold primarily to the ethnic market and most are extremely lean. Those
steers sold steady to 1.00 lower with good demand. Not enough Slaughter
Holstein steers for a market test. Slaughter heifers not tested last week so
no comparison. Slaughter cows sold 1.00-2.00 higher on a light test. Slaughter
bulls sold sharply higher, mostly 4.00-5.00 higher on a very light test.
Demand was very good as the ethnic buyers were very active in the bull market.

and 74 feeder cattle. All prices quoted per cwt.
