Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Correction: 170 lb Number 1 bull calf deleted.

Compared to last week slaughter steers sold mostly steady. Holstein steers sold 2.00-3.00 higher. Slaughter heifers had a light test therefore no trend available. Slaughter cows sold 1.00-2.00 higher. Return to Farm Calves: Compared to last week holstein bull calves sold 5.00-10.00 lower. All prices per cwt.
