As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers were 6.00 higher with slaughter heifers 3.00 to 6.00 higher with a good offering of higher quality steers and heifers with better packer demand and active bidding. No comparison on Holstein slaughter steers today. No coverage on cows and bulls this week. Feeder steers were significantly lower but good value on lighter weight steers and feeder heifers and bulls had instances of higher/lower with lighter weight heifers and bulls in good demand and a good offering of fancy and value added feeders.
