Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers and heifers had a lighter offering due to weather conditions but steers and heifers were 2.00 lower with lighter packer inquiry. Ho Holstein slaughter steers this week. Cows had instances of higher/lower with bulls too few to compare. Feeder steers and bulls were too few to compare and were trending lower with feeder heifers also trending lower but good value on value added feeders. A lighter offering on all classes of cattle due to weather today.
