Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, feeder heifers measuring 2.00 lower, with feeder bulls sharply lower overall, and no comparisons available for feeder steers due to limited comparable receipts. Lighter demand and lower-quality was noted for feeder classes. Slaughter cows gauging 1.00 to 8.00 higher overall with slaughter bulls 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Today's replacement offerings included a group of young, open fancy cows from the UT Experiment Farm.
