Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Stocker steers under 650 lbs steady to 4.00 lower except the better 500-550 lbs 3.00 higher on a light test in most classes. Stocker heifers mostly 2.00-5.00 lower. Slaughter cows 2.00-4.00 higher than the few reported last week. Not enough slaughter bulls for a trend. Light run due to heat and farmers busy in the hay fields.
