Compared to last week slaughter steers and heifers had instances of higher/lower with a lighter offering but good value on high quality steers and heifers. Holstein slaughter steers were 2.00 higher and Dairy/Beef steers were significantly higher today. Cows were 2.00 to 5.00 higher and bulls 7.00 lower with active buyer participation. No test last week on Holstein heifers or Dairy/Beef heifers but were trending higher this week. Feeder steers and heifers were trending higher on a light test with no feeder bulls today.
