As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers were steady to lower and slaughter heifers 1.00 lower but active buyer participation this week. No Holstein slaughter steers today. Cows had instances of higher/lower with bulls 2.00 to 3.00 lower with another good offering of cows today. Feeder steers were trending lower and feeder heifers and bulls were significantly lower with some good groups of fancy type feeders today.
