As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers were unevenly steady and slaughter heifers were 1.00 to 2.00 higher with a good offering of steers and heifers. Holstein slaughter steers were 2.00 to 4.00 higher today. Cows were 4.00 lower and bulls 3.00 higher with a lighter offering this week. Feeder steers were too few to compare with feeder heifers 3.00 to 6.00 lower and feeder bulls trending lower.
