As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers were 1.00 higher and slaughter heifers 2.00 to 4.00 higher with higher prices on the higher quality steers and heifers. No dairy last week to compare but dairy steers this week were trending lower. Cows and bulls had instances of higher/lower but, good prices on high dressing heavier cows and bulls. To few of feeder calves today to compare.
