As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers and heifers were 2.00 lower with a good offering but lower packer inquiry this week. Holstein slaughter steers were 5.00 to 6.00 lower today. Cows were 1.00 to 3.00 lower with active bidding and bulls were 1.00 to 7.00 lower. Feeder steers were trending lower with feeder heifers significantly lower with feeder bulls instances of higher/lower with few buyers interested in buying but nice groups of value added and fancy type feeders this week.
