Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers were mostly steady with slaughter heifers 1.00 to 2.00 higher with still good demand on high quality steers and heifers and a good offering today. Holstein slaughter steers were 4.00 higher this week. Cows and bulls were significantly higher with a good offering of high dressing cows and bulls and active buyer participation. No comparison on feeder steers due to no feeder steers last week but were trending steady and feeder heifers were mostly steady with feeder bulls trending higher with some fancy type feeder bulls today.
