Compared to last week slaughter steers were 2.00 lower with slaughter heifers 5.00 lower with less packer inquiry this week but a good offering of steers and heifers today. Holstein slaughter steers 1.00 to 5.00 lower today. Cows were 1.00 to 2.00 lower and bulls significantly lower this week. Feeder heifers were trending higher with feeder bulls trending lower and a light offering of feeders this week. A weaker packer interest on all classes of slaughter cattle this week.
