Compared to last week slaughter steers and heifers both had instances of higher/lower with steady packer inquiry this week. Holstein slaughter steers were 1.00 to 2.00 higher today. Cows were 1.00 to 2.00 higher with bulls of instances of higher/lower. All classes of feeder calves were trending lower but good interest on value added feeders.
