As filed

No comparison to last week due to no coverage but slaughter steers and heifers were both trending lower with lower packer interest again this week but a good offering of steers and heifers today. Holstein slaughter steers were also lower but some higher quality Holsteins that were at a higher value. Cows were trending lower with a good offering and bulls trending lower with high dressing bulls at a higher value. All classes of feeder calves were trending lower but some value added and fancy type feeders were trading higher.
