As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers were 1.00 to 2.00 higher with slaughter heifers 1.00 lower with lower packer bids today. Holstein slaughter steers too few to compare. Cows had instances of higher/lower with bulls 1.00 to 3.00 lower. Feeder steers were too few this week and feeder heifers were trending higher with feeder bulls sharply higher with a good offering of fancy and value added heifers and bulls this week.
