As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers were 1.00 to 2.00 higher with slaughter heifers were 2.00 to 7.00 higher with a good offering of higher quality steers and heifers and higher packer bids. Cows were 1.00 to 3.00 lower with bulls 1.00 to 2.00 higher and some higher dressing bulls this week. Feeder heifers were sharply lower with feeder bulls 1.00 to 2.00 lower and feeder steers too few to compare.
