Compared to last week, slaughter steers and heifers were 1.00 to 2.00 lower with lower packer bids today but good quality offered. Holstein slaughter steers were 1.00 to 7.00 higher this week. Slaughter cows were 2.00 to 4.00 higher with slaughter bulls 3.00 to 5.00 higher also. Feeder cattle were too few to compare but feeders were trending lower.
