As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers were 1.00 to 2.00 higher with slaughter heifers 1.00 higher this week. No Holstein slaughter steers this week. Cows were 1.00 to 3.00 higher with a good offering of cows today and bulls 4.00 lower today. Feeder steers were too few to compare today and feeder heifers 2.00 lower with feeder bulls too few last week to compare but, they were trending higher this week.
