As filed

No comparison to last week due to no coverage last week, but slaughter steers and heifers were trending lower this week with lower packer bids. Cows and bulls were also trending lower. Feeder steers and heifers had a higher undertone with good prices on value added steers and heifers. Feeder bulls too few to trend.
