Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No comparison to last week due to no coverage but slaughter steers and heifers were trending higher with good value on higher quality steers and heifers. No comparison on Holstein slaughter steers. Cows were mostly steady with bulls trending lower. Feeder calves were mostly steady on a light offering today.
