Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold steady to 2.00 higher and the feeder heifers were sharply higher. No trend on bull calves. The fancy and value-added calves sold extremely well on good demand. No test on slaughter cows and bulls due to low receipts last week.
