Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Steers and Heifers not well tested but at a lower undertone noted. However, those on value added programs sold at a premium. Demand on calves limited and lighter receipts due to higher temperatures. Slaughter cows 1.00 higher, except Lean cows 4.00 lower. Slaughter bulls holding steady.
