As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers were 2.00 to 3.00 higher with slaughter heifers mostly steady with a few instances of higher lower and active buyer participation today.

Holstein slaughter steers were trading 1.00 higher this week. Breaker and boner cows were 1.00 to 2.00 lower with lean cows 3.00 higher. Feeder steers and heifers were sharply lower and feeder bulls mostly steady. This the last report for the year due to the Holidays,but will be back in 3 weeks. Happy Holidays !
