Compared to last week, slaughter steers and heifers were 1.00 to 2.00 lower with lower packer inquiry this week but, a good offering of higher quality steers and heifers. Holstein slaughter steers were 1.00 to 3.00 lower today. Cows were trading 1.00 to 3.00 lower with slaughter bulls 1.00 to 7.00 lower. Feeder steers were 5.00 lower with feeder heifers 4.00 to 10.00 higher with good quality feeder heifers today and feeder bulls sharply lower this week.
