As filed

Compared to last week, Holstein slaughter cows were 5.00 higher. Slaughter Holstein bulls were 16.00 lower this week. No other comparisons are available because of light receipts. Lighter demand continues this week as the processing plants across the Midwest continue to be backed up due to recent processing closures on the East coast.
