As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers were 5.00 to 8.00 lower and slaughter heifers 3.00 lower with a good offering of both but much lower packer interest this week. Holstein slaughter steers were 8.00 lower and Dairy/Beef steers 6.00 lower this week and a good offering on both. Cows were 4.00 lower and bulls mostly steady. Lower packer needs for all classes of slaughter animals this week. Feeder steers steady with feeder heifers and bulls trending higher today.
