Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers were 4.00 higher and slaughter heifers 1.00 higher and better packer inquiry and a good offering of high quality steers and heifers. Holstein slaughter steers were 6.00 higher and Holstein slaughter heifers significantly higher. Cows were 2.00 higher and bulls sharply lower. Feeder steers and heifers mostly steady with feeder bulls trending lower and a light test of feeders today.
