As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers were 8.00 lower with slaughter heifers 7.00 lower and much lower packer inquiry this week but a good offering of slaughter steers and heifers. No Holstein slaughter steers today. Cows were 4.00 to 6.00 lower with a good offering and active buyer participation with bulls 2.00 to 5.00 lower with good value on high dressing bulls. All classes of feeder calves were sharply lower with lower buyer interest this week.
