Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No comparison to last week due to no coverage last week but slaughter steers were trending higher on the high quality steers and slaughter heifers trending lower today but steady on the higher quality heifers. No comparison on Holstein slaughter steers. Cows and bulls were trending higher with active buyer interest this week. A lighter test on feeder calves with feeder steers and heifers trending lower and feeder bulls mostly steady.
