Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No comparison to last week due to no coverage but slaughter steers and heifers were trending steady to higher with good value on higher quality steers and heifers.

Holstein slaughter steers were trending lower with lower quality Holsteins today. Cows had instances of higher/lower and bulls trending lower with a good offering of cows and bulls. Feeder steers and bulls were trending higher and feeder heifers steady with active buyer participation this week.
