Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last auction two weeks ago, the best test was on steers weighing 650-750 lbs selling 2.00-5.00 higher and a light test of 650-700 lb heifers trading steady to 3.00 higher with all other weights trading mostly steady on comparable sales and quality. Slaughter cows sold fully steady to firm. A good quality offering of steers weighing 650-750 lbs sold with good demand with overall quality on calves under 600 lbs not as attractive as two weeks ago sold with moderate demand.
