Compared to last week slaughter steers were 3.00 to 7.00 higher with slaughter heifers 4.00 to 6.00 higher with active buyer participation and good quality this week. No comparison on Holstein slaughter steers today. Cows were 4.00 to 8.00 higher and bulls 5.00 higher with good value on high dressing cows and bulls. Feeder steers were trending lower and feeder heifers and bulls with instances of higher/lower but active buyer interest today.
