As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers had instances of higher/lower with good valve on high quality steers and slaughter heifers were 1.00 to 2.00 higher this week. Holstein slaughter steers were 5.00 lower today. Cows were 2.00 to 5.00 higher with a good offering of high dressing breaker cows and bull with instances of higher/lower. Feeder steers and heifers were too few to compare today with feeder bulls trending lower.
