As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers were 3.00 lower and slaughter heifers 2.00 to 4.00 lower with a good offering of steers and heifers today. Holstein slaughter had instances of higher/lower. Cows were 2.00 to 8.00 higher and bulls 6.00 to 8.00 higher with active buyer participation today. Feeder steers were too few to compare with feeder heifers trending higher and feeder bulls had a light test this week.
