As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers were 2.00 to 3.00 lower and heifers too few to trend today with a light offering of steers and heifers due to the holiday and little packer inquiry. Holstein slaughter steers were 1.00 lower. Cows were 1.00 to 2.00 higher with bulls 5.00 lower. Feeder steers were 7.00 lower but some good groups of value added steers with feeder heifers and bulls mostly steady.
