As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers had instances of higher/lower and slaughter heifers 4.00 lower with a lighter offering this week. No Holstein slaughter steers today. Cows were 1.00 to 2.00 lower with bulls trending lower but good value on high dressing bulls today. Feeder steers and feeder heifers were too few to compare this week but feeder bulls were significantly higher.
