As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers were 3.00 to 5.00 lower and slaughter heifers were 1.00 lower with still lower packer inquiry. Holstein slaughter steers were 2.00 higher today. All classes of cows were 1.00 lower with bulls 5.00 higher. Due to light receipts feeder cattle were too few to trend.
