Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No comparison to last week due to no coverage last week, but slaughter steers and heifers were tendering lower today but good value on higher quality steers and heifers. No Holstein slaughter steers this week. Cows and bulls were trending higher today with active bidding and a good offering of cows today. All classes of feeder calves were trending higher and some good quality feeders this week.
