As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers were 2.00 lower and Holstein slaughter steers were 4.00 higher based on a limited comparison. Slaughter heifers were 5.00 higher and Holstein slaughter heifers were 5.00 lower based on a limited comparison. Holstein slaughter cows were 3.00 lower and Holstein slaughter bulls were trending lower this week. No other comparisons are available because of light receipts which unusual spring like weather conditions pulled many into starting field work.
