As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers were 1.00 to 3.00 lower with slaughter heifers 2.00 lower with a good offering this week. No comparison on Holstein slaughter steers today due to no Holstein last week . Cows had instances of higher/lower with bulls 1.00 higher. Feeder steers were too few to compare and feeder heifers were sharply higher with feeder bulls trending lower.
