As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers were mostly steady with slaughter heifers instances of higher/lower and a good offering of slaughter steers and heifers. Holstein slaughter steers also had instances of higher/lower with 1/2 blood Holstein at a higher value. Cows were 1.00 to 3.00 higher and a light test of bulls that were trending lower. A light test of feeder calves today that were significantly lower and light buyer interest today.
