Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last auction two weeks ago, (last week was a Special Bred heifer sale) very little of any one weight or quality to make good comparison, feeders sold in small lots, packages and singles with overall quality not as attractive as last sale with feeders selling with a lower undertone. There was a few packages of 600-650 lb steers that sold unevenly steady. Large offering of slaughter cows traded 3.00-7.00 lower than two weeks ago with slaughter cattle trading with a lower undertone with no recent comparison for three weeks. Next week will be a Special Feeder Cattle auction.
