Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last tested auction two weeks ago, a light offering this week but overall a good quality offering of feeders with the best test on the 450-600 lb heifers selling 8.00-12.00 higher, 600-750 lb heifers sold fully steady to firm with feeder steers all selling with a firm to higher undertone on a light test. Slaughter cows sold steady. Demand was good on a light supply with feeders all selling on a very active market with the bulk of the receipts heifers weighing 450-725 lbs.
