Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No comparison to last week, but slaughter steers were trading steady to lower and slaughter heifers trending lower with a good offering of steers and heifers. Cows were trending higher with good value on higher dressing breaker cows and bulls were unevenly steady. A light offering of feeder calves today were trending lower but value added calves were at a good value.
