Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold 3.00-7.00 lower. Feeder heifers sold unevenly steady. Slaughter cows sold 5.00- 8.00 lower. There was a light test on slaughter bulls so no trend established. Weaned cattle are still bringing a premium, and buyer demand was strong on all classes of cattle. Quality of cattle was average to good with a good supply of replacement cattle today.
