As filed

No comparison to last week due to the Holiday but slaughter steers and heifers were in very good demand on high quality steers and heifers with active buyer participation this week. Holstein slaughter steers were trending mostly steady. Cows were trending higher with bulls trading higher/lower. Feeder steers were trending higher with some fancy type and value added steers and feeder heifers and bulls trending mostly steady.
