As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers were steady to lower with slaughter heifers 1.00 to 2.00 lower with a good offering of slaughter steers and heifers. Dairy/Beef steers were trending higher on some high quality Dairy/Beef steers today. Holstein slaughter steers too few to compare. Cows had instances of higher/lower with Dairy cows 5.00 lower and bulls 6.00 to 8.00 higher with good high dressing bulls with active bidding. A low test of feeder calves today with feeder steers and heifers trending lower with feeder bulls trending higher.
