As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers were 2.00 to 4.00 lower with slaughter heifers 3.00 lower with lower packer inquiry this week. Holstein slaughter steers were too few to compare. Cows were 2.00 to 10.00 lower with bulls 9.00 lower with lower buyer interest today. Feeder steers and bulls were significantly higher and feeder heifers sharply lower but some good groups of value added and fancy type feeders in all classes.
