As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers and heifers were 2.00 higher with a good offering of steers and heifers and active buyer participation. No comparison on Holstein slaughter steers due to no Holstein last week. Cows were 3.00 to 12.00 higher with higher buyer interest and bulls were 1.00 to 3.00 lower this week. All classes of feeder calves were trending lower with a light test today.
