As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers were 2.00 lower and slaughter heifers 2.00 higher on a lighter test this week. No comparison on Holstein slaughter steers this week. Cows were 1.00 to 2.00 lower with a good offering of cows again this week with lots of buyer interest and bulls had instances of higher/lower with good value on high dressing cows and bulls. Feeder steers were trending sharply higher and feeder heifers also sharply higher and feeder bulls significantly higher and active buyer participation today.
