Compared to last week, Holstein slaughter steers were 2.00 lower based on a limited comparison. Slaughter cows were 5.00 lower. Slaughter bulls were trending higher based on a limited comparison. This week soybean and corn harvest started in the area which was a contributing factor to light receipts this week.
