Compared to last week slaughter steers were 1.00 higher with slaughter heifers 2.00 to 4.00 higher with stronger packer interest and active bidding today. Holstein slaughter were too few to compare. Cows were 1.00 higher with bulls 4.00 higher with a lighter test on bulls. Feeder steers were trending higher with a better offering of steers today and feeder heifers and bulls had instances of higher/lower with lots of value added and fancy type feeders and good buyer interest with good groups offered this week.
