As filed

No comparison to last week due to no coverage last week but slaughter steers and heifers were mostly steady to lower with a good offering of steers and heifers with lower packer inquiry this week. Holstein slaughter steers were trading lower today. Cows were sharply lower with bulls mostly steady. Feeder steers and heifers were significantly lower and feeder bulls trending higher today.
