As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers and heifers were 2.00 lower with lower packer interest this week. Holstein slaughter steers 2.00 to 6.00 lower with Dairy/Beef steers steady and Dairy/Beef heifers trending higher. Cows had instances of higher/lower and bulls had instances higher/lower also but good value on high dressing cows and bulls with active buyer interest. Feeder steers and heifers were trend lower with feeder bulls sharply higher and a light test on all feeders today.
