As filed

No comparison to last week due to coverage last week. but slaughter steers and heifers were trending lower with lower packer inquiry. Holstein slaughter steers were mostly steady. Cows were trending mostly steady with good value on high dressing cows and bulls mostly steady. Feeder calves were at a good value on fancy type feeders with all others trending lower.
