Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers were too few to compare with slaughter heifers 2.00 to 3.00 higher with a light offering this week due to weather conditions. Cows had instances of higher/lower and bulls too few. Feeder heifers were trending higher with no feeder bulls and feeder steers too few and all classes of cattle light today due to weather conditions.
