As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers were 2.00 to 4.00 higher and slaughter heifers 1.00 to 2.00 higher with a good offering of slaughter steers and heifers and active bidding on high quality steers and heifers with high packer demand on higher quality this week. No Holstein slaughter steers today. Cows 2.00 to 4.00 lower and Holstein cows had instances of higher/lower with bulls higher/lower also. A good offering of all classes feeders today with feeder steers and heifers instances of higher/lower and feeder bulls trending lower but fancy type feeders were still in good demand and active bidding this week.
