Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers were 2.00 to 3.00 higher with slaughter heifers trending higher with a light offering of steers and heifers due to market conditions and packer inquiry. Holstein slaughter steers were mostly steady this week. A light offering of cows, but sold 1.00 to 2.00 higher with bulls 1.00 lower. Feeder cattle were too few to compare but a lower undertone was noted.
