Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No coverage last week so no comparison this week but slaughter steers and slaughter heifers were trending lower with lower packer inquiry this week. No Holstein slaughter today. Cows and bulls were trending higher with a good offering and still good packer interest. Feeder calves were mostly steady with better valve on valve added and fancy type feeders.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
