Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers under 500 lbs had no comparisons, while those over 500 lbs sold steady to 16.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs sold steady to sharply higher. Heifers over 600 lbs were too thinly tested for a market trend. Slaughter cows sold steady and slaughter bulls sold 3.75 lower. The next available report will occur as receipts warrant.
