As filed

Compared to last week slaughter were 8.00 lower with a very light test with no packer interest this week No slaughter heifers and Holstein slaughter steers today. Cows were 2.00 to 10.00 lower and bulls were 1.00 to 6.00 higher with good value on high dressing bulls. All classes of feeder calves were sharply lower with a better offering of feeders today and good value on lighter weight fancy type feeders.
