As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers were 2.00 to 4.00 lower with slaughter heifers were 3.00 to 6.00 lower with a good offering of high quality heifers buy lower packer bids again this week. Cows had instances of higher/lower with bulls 1.00 to 2.00 higher. Feeder calves were too few to trend this week with a feeder calf special Wednesday night.
