As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers and heifers were steady to 2.00 higher with a good offering of high quality steers and heifers. Slaughter Holstein steers were 3.00 lower. Slaughter cows were 2.00 to 4.00 higher, and

slaughter bulls 3.00 higher. No test on feeder cattle due to light receipts but a lower undertone was

noted.
