Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No comparison to last week due to no coverage but slaughter steers and heifers were trending higher with higher packer inquiry this week. Holstein slaughter steers were also trending higher today. There was a good offering of cows with active bidding and trending higher with bulls unevenly steady. All classes of feeder calves were in high demand and trending higher.
