Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Due to the winter storm the receipts were lower and the demand was moderate. Heifers 550 to 600 lbs. sold 4.00 lower, 700 to 750 lbs. sold 6.00 lower and 850 to 900 lbs. sold 1.00 lower. Other weights of steers and heifers did not have enough for a good comparison, however a lower undertone was noted.
