Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No comparison to last week due to no sale but slaughter steers are significantly higher and slaughter heifers were trending higher with a good offering of high quality steers and heifers and better packer interest. Holstein slaughter were trending higher and Dairy/Beef steers and heifers were selling significantly higher with high quality also. Cows were trending higher on a low test and no slaughter bulls today. Feeder steers were trending steady and feeder heifers trending higher with no feeder bulls this week.
