Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Trade activity and demand was moderate. No trend available on feeder steers, feeder heifers, and replacement catle due to low receipts. Dairy heifers traded mostly steady to 1.00 lower. No trend available on the Dairy Springer Heifers due to no recent reports. Average dress slaughter cows traded mostly steady to 2.00 higher, this seemed to largely be due to increased quality in this weeks run. Average dress slaughter bulls traded steady. Next available report will be Thursday, October 10, 2024. (Corrected)
