Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers and heifers were mostly steady to lower with active bidding this week. A good offering of Holstein slaughter steers today that were trending lower. Feeder steers and bulls were trending lower with feeder heifers instances of higher/lower and a good offering of fancy type feeders today. No comparison on cows and bulls due to no coverage last week but cows were trending steady and a good offering of bulls that were also mostly steady.
