Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers were1.00 higher and slaughter heifers 2.00 to 6.00 higher with better packer interest this week. Holstein slaughter steers were 6.00 higher and a good offering of Holsteins steers and good quality. Cows were 4.00 higher and bulls steady on a low test with Dairy cows too few to compare. Feeder steers were steady and feeder heifers significantly higher with active buyer interest and feeder bulls trending lower.
