As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers were1.00 low and slaughter heifers 1.00 to 2.00 lower with a good offering of steers and heifers and cautious packer interest. Holstein slaughter steers were 4.00 higher today with good quality. Dairy/Beef steers and heifers were trending higher this week. Cows had instances of higher/lower with bulls 4.00 to 8.00 higher and active buyer participation. No comparison on feeder calves due to light test.
