Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers and heifers were 1.00 to 2.00 lower with a good offering of steers and heifers with active bidding. Holstein slaughter steers were 1.00 higher this week. Cows were 1.00 to 4.00 higher with bulls too few to compare. All classes of feeder calves had light offerings so no trend today.
