As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers were 1.00 lower with slaughter heifers 1.00 to 2.00 higher and a lighter offering with light packer interest this week. No Holstein slaughter steers last week but were trending higher with good quality today. Cows were 3.00 to 6.00 lower and bulls 9.00 higher on high dressing bulls with a light offering of cows and bulls. Holstein cows were 1.00 higher today. Feeder steers and heifers were significantly higher with a good offering of valve added and fancy type steers and heifers and feeder bulls were too few to compare and trending lower.
