Compared to last week slaughter steers were 1.00 to 3.00 higher and slaughter heifers 1.00 higher with better value on higher quality steers and heifers with more buyer interest. Holstein slaughter steers were 3.00 lower. Cows were 3.00 to 6.00 lower and bulls 2.00 to 10,00 lower with Holstein cows 1.00 higher and a good offering of cows this week. Feeder steers were trending higher on a light test and feeder heifers trending lower with feeder bulls significantly lower.

Slaughter cattle
