As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers and heifers were trading 1.00 lower. Holstein slaughter steers were 1.00 lower this week also. Cows were 1.00 to 3.00 higher with a good offering with bulls 5.00 higher with good high dressing bulls this week. There were too few feeders last week to compare but light weight bulls were at a good value.
