Compared to last week slaughter steers were 2.00 higher with slaughter heifers 2.00 higher and some good groups of steers and heifers and better packer interest. A light test of Holstein slaughter that were lower today. Cows were 6.00 to 7.00 higher with bulls sharply higher this week. Feeder steers were trending higher with feeder heifers 2.00 to 10.0 higher and feeder bulls trending lower today and a good offering of Holstein feeder steers and heifers that were trending higher with lots of valve added and fancy type feeders this week.
