As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers and heifers had instances of higher/lower with higher quality steers and heifers selling lower this week. Holstein slaughter steers were too few to compare today but were trending lower. Cows were 1.00 to 5.00 higher with a good offering of cows today and bulls were 2.00 higher. All classes of feeder calves were sharply lower with some good groups of heifers and bulls. this week.
