Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No comparison to last week due to no coverage but slaughter steers and heifers were trending lower with a good offering of steers and heifers but lower packer inquiry again this week. A low test of Holstein slaughters today that were trending lower. A good offering of cows and active buyer participation today but also trending lower with bulls mostly steady with a nice offering of high dressing bulls that were trading higher. All classes of feeder calves were sharply lower with lower buyer interest this week.
