As filed

No comparison to last week due to no coverage but slaughter steers and heifers were unevenly steady with still good demand on higher quality steers and heifers. Cows and bulls were trending sharply lower today. No Holstein slaughter steers this week. A light offering of feeder calves that were trend lower today.
