Compared to last week slaughter steers were 3.00 to 5.00 higher with slaughter heifers 2.00 to 7.00 higher with better packer inquiry and active bidding on higher quality steers and heifers. Holstein slaughter steers were significantly higher today. A good offering of cows today that were 3.00 to 7.00 higher with active buyer participation along with bulls 5.00 to 9.00 higher. All classes of feeder calves were trending lower with a light test this week.
