Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and bulls sold 7.00 to 12.00 lower, Feeder heifers sold 7.00 to 13.00 lower. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady. Slaughter bulls were not well tested. Extreme heat in the area and negative reports in cattle futures market led to a lack of interest from the buyers.
