Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No comparison to last week but slaughter steers and heifers were trending lower with still good value on higher quality steers and heifers. Too few of Holstein slaughter steers to trend. Cows were trending steady to higher with bulls trending lower. All classes of feeder calves were trending lower with value added calves at good value.

Slaughter cattle
