Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on feeder steers or heifers from last weeks light test, but a higher undertone was noted. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly steady. Trading activity was moderate to active on good buyer demand. Hot and dry conditions have returned to the trading region, but pastures are still in good condition.
