Reporter comment USDA

As filed

This was the first sale of the year with bad weather this week and slaughter steers and heifers were significantly higher with good packer interest and active buyer participation on a good offering even with bad weather. Dairy/Beef steers and heifers were were trending higher today. Cows and bulls were sharply lower and Holstein cows trending lower on a light offering today. A light test on all classes of feeders that were trending lower with little buyer interest.
