As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers were 2.00 lower with slaughter heifers instances of higher/lower and lower packer bids this week. No comparison on Holstein slaughter steers. Cows were 1.00 to 4.00 higher and bulls 3.00 to 4.00 lower. Feeder steers were too few to trend with feeder 1.00 to 4.00 higher and feeder bulls 3.00 to 4.00 lower.
