As filed

No comparison to last due to no coverage last week but, slaughter steers and heifers were trending mostly steady to higher. Holstein slaughter steers were also trending steady.

Cows and bulls were unevenly steady with a good offering of cows. Feeder calves were also steady to higher with good value on high quality feeders.
