Compared to last week slaughter steers and heifers were 1.00 to 2.00 higher with active buyer interest on higher quality steers and heifers. No Holstein slaughter steers last week to compare but were trending higher today. Cows were 1.00 to 200 higher with good interest and bulls had a light test and were significantly lower. Dairy/Beef steers were 6.00 higher this week with higher quality Dairy/Beef steers. A light test of feeders last week but feeder steers were trending higher with feeder heifers and bulls trend lower.
