Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers were 3.00 higher and slaughter heifers 2.00 to 5.00 higher with better packer this week. Holstein slaughter steers too few to compare. Cows were 3.00 to 5.00 lower and Holstein cows were trending lower and bulls instances of higher/lower with good value on high dressing bulls and cows. Feeder steers were sharply lower with feeder heifers and bulls significantly higher with good fancy type and value added feeders offered with good buyer interest today.
