Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No accurate comparison on feeder steers and heifers or calves but a lower undertone noted due to very limited offerings of weaned calves and weighing conditions not as attractive but a few 300-400 lb. calves steady. Slaughter cows 4.00 lower except a few high yielding cows steady. Bulls steady. Trade and demand moderate.
