No Holstein slaughter steers last week but were trending higher with good quality today. Cows were 3.00 to 6.00 lower and bulls 9.00 higher on high dressing bulls with a light offering of cows and bulls. Holstein cows were 1.00 higher today. Feeder steers and heifers were significantly higher with a good offering of valve added and fancy type steers and heifers and feeder bulls were too few to compare and trending lower.
