As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers were 3.00 higher with a good offering of steers and slaughter heifers were 2.00 to 3.00 higher with active buyer participation today. No comparison on Holstein slaughter steers due to light offering. Cows were 2.00 to 8.00 lower with bulls 1.00 to 4.00 higher with high packer demand high dressing cows and bulls. Feeder steers were trending higher and feeder heifers were steady to higher with feeder bulls significantly higher with a good offering of bulls.
