As filed

Compared to last week, Holstein slaughter steers were trending higher based on a limited comparison. Slaughter cows were mostly steady to 3.00 lower. Slaughter bulls were mostly steady. No other comparison data is available because of light receipts as many producers were working on the crop harvest before area storms set in. Note: The October 25 auction is canceled to prepare for the annual horse sale.
