Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steer were 4.00 to 6.00 lower and slaughter heifers 5.00 lower with lower packer interest this week. Holstein slaughter steers were significantly lower also. Cows and bulls were 9.00 lower with a light test today. All classes of feeder calves were trending lower but a nice offering of Holstein feeders that were mostly steady. Little interest from the packers on all spices of slaughter cattle this week.
