As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers and heifers were steady to 1.00 higher with still low packer inquiry. Breaker and boner cows were unchanged with a few exceptions of higher/lower with lean cows 2.00 to 5.00 higher and bulls mostly steady. Feeder cattle were too few to compare.

Slaughter cattle
