Newell sheep sales reportSt. Onge Livestock Co., Ltd., Newell, S.D., reported receipts of 998 head July 10, compared to 2,207 head last year, according to the USDA-South Dakota Department of Agriculture Market News, Sioux Falls, S.D. No recent market was available to trend the sale. Less attractive slaughter lamb quality resulted in a weaker undertone. Feeder lambs sold with a steady to weak undertone. Demand was moderate. High grain prices across the nation have lighten the demand for light weight feeders, resulting in an increase in demand for heavier offerings that will finish with fewer days on feed.
