As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers and heifers were 6.00 to 10.00 higher with better packer inquiry and active buyer participation. Holstein slaughter steers were 11.00 higher this week. Cows were 1.00 to 3.00 lower with bulls 2.00 higher. Feeder cattle were too few to compare, but feeder steers had a higher undertone with feeder heifers a lower undertone.
