As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers were 3.00 to 4.00 lower with slaughter heifers 1.00 to 3.00 lower with lower packer interest this week. Holstein slaughter steers were 3.00 higher with a light test. Cows were 4.00 to 8.00 higher with a good offering and active buyer participation and bulls 4.00 to 6.00 lower but good value on high dressing bulls and good packer inquiry. A light offering of feeders that were trending lower today.
