Compared to last week slaughter steers were 2.00 higher and slaughter heifers 2.00 to 3.00 higher with a good offering today and good buyer interest. Holstein slaughter steers were 6.00 lower on a light test. Cows and Holstein cows were significantly higher with better interest this week and bulls trending higher on a light test. All classes of feeder calves were sharply higher with some good value added and fancy type feeders and active buyer participation.
