Compared to last week, slaughter steers were 2.00 to 4.00 lower with slaughter heifers 2.00 to 5.00 lower with a good offering of steers and heifers but lower packer bids again this week. No Holstein steer comparison this week. Cows were 1.00 to 2.00 higher with active bidding and bulls 4.00 higher today. Feeder steers were 2.00 higher with feeder heifers and bulls sharply lower.
