Compared to last week, slaughter steers and heifers were 2.00 lower with lower packer inquiry again this week but good value on higher quality steers and heifers. Holstein slaughter steers were steady today. Cows were 2.00 to 10.00 higher with active buyer participation and bulls 1.00 to 7.00 lower. Feeder steers were mostly steady with feeder heifers and bulls trending lower.
