As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers were 3.00 to 6.00 higher with slaughter heifers 4.00 to 8.00 higher with better packer inquiry and a good offering of higher quality steers and heifers today. Holstein slaughter steers were too few to compare but were trend higher. No coverage on cows and bulls last week but cows were trending higher with bulls mostly steady. Feeder steers were 2.00 to 9.00 higher with feeder heifers significantly higher and feeder bulls instances of higher/lower with lighter bulls sharply higher with some good groups of feeders today.
