Compared to last week slaughter steers were 1.00 lower with slaughter heifers 1.00 to 4.00 lower with lighter packer interest this week. No Holstein slaughter steers last week to compare. Cows were 1.00 lower and bulls 4.00 to 6.00 lower with a lighter test today. Feeder steers were mostly steady and feeder heifers significantly higher with feeder bulls 3.00 to 8.00 higher with some good fancy type feeder today.
