Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No recent feeder special with comparable receipts but steers and heifers of all weights traded with a higher undertone catching up with the sharp gains over the last several weeks. Receipts included three pot loads of 780 to 910 lb heifers along with several part loads of steers and heifers with many small packages in the offering but overall and active market. Demand was good on a moderate to heavy offering. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm with spots 3.00 higher on the high dressing cows.
