As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers were 1.00 to 4.00 lower with slaughter heifers 2.00 to 3.00 lower with a lighter packer inquiry this week. No Holstein comparison this week. Cows were 1.00 to 3.00 lower but a good offering of cows this week and bulls were 1.00 to 2.00 lower. Feeder steers and bulls were mostly steady with feeder heifers instances of higher/lower.
