Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers sold steady, with feeder heifers steady. Slaughter cow’s sold steady, slaughter bulls steady. There was good demand for all classes of feeder and slaughter cattle, with moderate offerings and moderate buyer activity this week. Buyers showed good interest in steer cattle and cattle with favorable condition as wet weather continue throughout the region.
