As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers and heifers both had instances of higher/lower with lighter packer inquiry this week. Holstein slaughter steers were too few to compare today. Cows were 1.00 to 2.00 lower with a good offering of cows and active buyer participation and bulls 2.00 lower today. Feeder steers were mostly steady to higher with feeder heifers and bulls significantly lower.
