Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Due to weather conditions last week and no sale there is no comparison this week on slaughter steers, heifers and Holstein slaughter steers, but they were trending lower with a good offering of steers and heifers. Cows and bulls were trending steady from two weeks ago. All feeder calves too few to compare and trend.
