As filed

No comparison to last week due to no coverage but slaughter steers and heifers were trending mostly steady to higher with a good offering of steers and heifers today, Holstein slaughter steers were steady on a light test and Dairy/Beef steers trend higher on high quality D/B steers. A good offering of cows that trending higher with active buyer participation on cows and bulls were trading higher on high dressing bulls. Feeder steers and bulls were trending higher with heifers mostly steady with lots of buyer interest today.
