As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers were 2.00 to 4.00 higher with slaughter heifers 2.00 to 3.00 higher with a better offering and better packer interest today. No Holstein slaughter this week. Cows were 3.00 to 4.00 higher and bulls had instances of higher/lower with a lighter test of bulls. Feeder steers and heifers were significantly higher with good groups of value added and fancy type steers and heifers and feeder bulls were sharply higher also with active buyer participation.
