Compared to last week, slaughter steers and heifers were 1.00 to 3.00 higher with a good offering of high quality steers and heifers and better packer inquiry today. Slaughter cows were steady to 1.00 higher with slaughter bulls 2.00 lower. All classes of feeder cattle were trending higher with a good offering of value added feeders and active buyer participation.
