Slaughter ewes lightly tested, Good 2-3 and 3-4 were 2.00 to 4.00 higher, other grades too few to compare. Feeder lambs not well tested for comparison. Good to very good demand for slaughter lambs, the best demand for was light lambs under 100 lbs as the market was most active on this class. Moderate to good demand for slaughter ewes, good demand for bred ewes. Demand for feeder lambs was good but very few feeders offered, there were many light lambs, under 100 lbs, that were offered but they went to kill buyers as they were small framed and not well suited for feeding to heavier weights. Slaughter lambs made up 81 percent of the offering, feeder lambs 1 percent, bred ewes 5 percent, balance slaughter ewes and bucks. All sheep and goats sold on a per cwt basis unless otherwise noted.
