Compared to last week slaughter steers were 1.00 to 2.00 higher and slaughter heifers were 3.00 higher with greater packer demand a d active buyer participation. No comparison on Holstein slaughter steers today. Cows were 3.00 to 4.00 higher and bulls 8.00 higher with much higher demand on cows and bulls this week. All classes of feeder calves were significantly higher with active buyer participation and good interest on lighter calves.
