Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers were 3.00 to 4.00 lower with still lower packer bids and slaughter heifers too few to compare. Holstein slaughter steers were 1.00 to 3.00 lower. Cows were 2.00 lower with bulls 8.00 lower.. All classes of feeder calves were sharply lower this week, but a good offering of Holstein feeder steers at a good value.
