As filed

No comparison to last week due to no coverage last week but, slaughter steers and heifers were trending lower with a good offering of steers and heifers this week. Holstein slaughter steers were mostly steady from weeks past. Cows were trending lower with bulls instances of higher/lower. Feeder steers were too few today with feeder heifers trending higher and feeder bulls trending lower.
