Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No Comparison to last week due to no coverage but, slaughter steers and heifers were trending higher with better packer inquiry and active bidding. Cows were trending higher with good value on high dressing cows and bulls were at a good value on high dressing bulls. All classes of feeder calves were trending higher with some heavier weight value added and fancy type this week.
