Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: No comparison available on feeder steers and heifers with a winter storm and dangerous travel conditions limiting receipts and buyer attendance. Slaughter cows and bulls steady. Trade active, demand moderate to good with some decline due to weather conditions.
