As filed

No comparison to last week due to no coverage but slaughter steers and heifers were trending higher with better quality steers and heifers in good demand. Holstein slaughter were higher on 1/2 blood Holstein steers. Cows and bulls were trend sharply higher on high dressing bulls and cows and good packer demand with active buyer participation. Feeder heifers and bulls were trending higher with a good offering of fancy type heifers and bulls and active bidding.
