Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week , slaughter steers were 2.00 to 6.00 higher with slaughter heifers sharply higher with a lighter offering but active buyer participation on high quality steers and heifers. Cows had instances of higher/lower with good value on high dressing breaker cows and no test on bulls due to light offering. Feeder calves were too few to compare with feeder bulls trending higher.
