Compared to last week slaughter steers were 1.00 to 2.00 higher with slaughter heifers 1.00 higher with a good offering of steers and heifers. No Holstein slaughter steers last week to compare but were trending lower today. Cows were 4.00 to 12.00 higher with good buyer interest and bulls 6.00 lower with a light test today. Feeder steers were trending higher with feeder heifers mostly steady with a good offering of value added and fancy type feeder steers and heifers and feeder bulls steady with a lighter test.
