Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, the market saw a much lower adjustment today. Slaughter steers and heifers sold 7.00 to 8.00 lower. Slaughter dairy steers sold 5.00 lower. The small number of slaughter dairy cross steers and heifers gave us a light price test today. Trade was active with very moderate demand.
