As filed

No comparison to last week due to the Holiday but slaughter steers and heifers were trending higher with a good offering of steers and heifers today. Holstein slaughter steers and heifers had some good groups of 1/2 blood beef on dairy cross that were at a good demand today. Cows were also trending higher with bulls in light demand this week. Feeder steers and heifers mostly steady with feeder bulls in better demand today.
