Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs. mostly steady, except a few 450-500 lb, heifers showing a higher undertone. No comparison on feeders over 600 lbs. bur a lower undertone noted. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 higher, most advance on boners. Bulls 3.00 lower though quality not as attractive. Trade and demand moderate to good.
