Compared to last week slaughter steers were 2.00 to 3.00 higher with slaughter heifers 2.00 higher and a good offering of high quality steers and heifers with lots of buyer interest. Holstein slaughter steers were 14.00 higher with a light test. Cows were 5.00 to 8.00 higher and bulls 2.00 higher with active buyer participation. Feeder steers were trending higher with feeder heifers and bulls significantly higher with lots of value added and fancy type feeders and active buyer interest with a smaller offering.
