Compared to last week slaughter steers were mostly steady with slaughter heifers 1.00 to 2.00 lower this week. No comparison on Holstein slaughter steers today. Cows were 3.00 to 9.00 higher and Holstein cows were mostly steady with bulls 4.00 to 5.00 higher this week. Feeder steers were trending higher and feeder heifers 2.00 to 9.00 higher with feeder bulls instances of higher/lower with a nice offering of value added and fancy type feeders this week.
