As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers were 2.00 to 3.00 higher with slaughter heifers 3.00 to 6.00 higher with higher packer bids but a light offering due to weather conditions this week. Holstein slaughter heifers were 3.00 higher today. Cows were 1.00 to 3.00 higher with active buyer participation and bulls 1.00 lower. No comparison on feeder cattle today due to low numbers.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
