Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Slaughter steer and heifer classes now include Dairy/Beef cross classifications. Additionally, there is now a Dairy classification for slaughter cows. Due to these additional classes, comparisons will resume next week. Note: There is no Topeka hay or livestock auction next week as they prepare for their spring draft horse sale.
