Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to a week ago: Feeder steers under 500 lbs did not have enough comparisons for an accurate trend. Steers over 500 lns sold steady to 6.00 lower on a limited test. Feeder heifers under 650 lbs sold 14.00 to sharply lower. Heifers over 650 lbs had no prior week comparison. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 4.00 higher. The next available report will occur as receipts warrant.
