Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, a much lighter offering of steer and heifer calves selling in small groups and packages with many singles, a light test of 400-550 lb heifers sold steady with few good comparisons on all other weights as overall quality was not as attractive as last week's feeder special. Another large offering of slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower.
