As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers and heifers steady to 1.00 higher with a good offering of steers and heifers with active bidding. Holstein slaughter steers were too few to compare this week. Both slaughter cows and bulls were significantly lower. Feeder steers too few to trend but feeder heifers sharply lower and feeder bulls sharply higher.
