Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: No comparison available on steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs. but a lower undertone noted. Feeders over 600 lbs. mostly 6.00-8.00 lower with quality not as attractive on both calves and feeders, Slaughter cows mostly 5.00 lower, bulls 1.00 lower. Trade and demand moderate.
