Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers sold strong. No comparison on dairy steers or slaughter heifers due to light supply. All classes of slaughter cows sold weak. Buyer demand was moderate on a light to moderate supply for the slaughter cattle sales. No comparison for feeder dairy calves due to limited reporter availability.
