Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No comparison to last week due to no coverage last week, but slaughter steers and heifers were trending lower but active buyer participation on the higher quality steers and heifers. Holstein slaughter steers were too few today. Cows and bulls were also lower this week. A light offering of feeder calves today and measurably lower.
