Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: No accurate comparison on feeder steers and heifers or calves due to a more attractive offering with a larger selection of weaned calves and quality more attractive in the feeders, but a higher undertone noted with more buyer participation. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 lower, bulls steady to 1.00 higher. Trade active, demand good.
