Compared to last week slaughter steers were 5.00 to 6.00 lower with slaughter heifers 4.00 to 5.00 lower with a good offering today but much lower packer interest. Holstein slaughter steers had instances of higher/lower. Cows were 3.00 to 8.00 lower and Holstein cows 1.00 lower and bulls 5.00 to 7.00 lower with lower packer inquiry on all classes of slaughter cattle this week. Feeder calves were also significantly lower today with a few fancy or value added feeders mostly steady.
