As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers and heifers were 1.00 to 4.00 lower with still lower packer inquiry, but a good offering of high quality steers and heifers this week. Slaughter cows were 1.00 to 2.00 lower with bulls 1.00 lower. Feeder cattle were too few to trend, but good value on value added steers.
