Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: There was not enough comparable data to call and accurate trend on feeder steers, feeder heifers sold steady to 8.00 higher, and feeder bulls sold 9.00 to 20.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady. Quality was plain to average and demand was good.
