As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers and heifers were 1.00 to 3.00 lower but, a good offering of higher quality steers and heifers this week. A good offering of Holstein slaughter steers that were trading 2.00 higher today. Cows were 2.00 higher with bulls 5.00 higher on high dressing bulls. Feeder steers too few to compare but feeder heifers were 6.00 higher with feeder bulls mostly steady.
