Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, the best test was on a few bunches of 450-675 lb heifers and two pot loads of 860 lb heifers trading steady on comparable sales, with steers very lightly tested. Feeders sold mostly in small packages and singles with several small groups un-weaned or short weaned. Demand was moderate on calves and good on the two loads of yearling heifers. Slaughter cows on a nice offering sold steady to firm.
