Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers sold steady, with feeder heifers steady with good demand. Slaughter cow’s 1.00-2.00 lower, Slaughter bulls 1.00-2.00 lower. There was good demand for all classes of feeder and slaughter cattle, with moderate offerings and good buyer activity this week. Buyers showed good interest in steer cattle and cattle with favorable condition as clear warmer weather breaks throughout the region.
