Compared to last week slaughter steers were 3.00 to 7.00 lower with slaughter heifers 5.00 lower and lower packer interest again this week No comparison on Holstein slaughter steers on a low test today. Cows were 2.00 to 4.00 lower with a good offering cows today and Holstein slaughter cows were trending lower with bulls instances of higher/lower and good value on high dressing bulls with active buyer participation. Feeder steers and heifers were trending higher and feeder bulls sharply higher on some good groups of value added and fancy type feeders on a good offering of feeders and good buyer interest.
