Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Fridays auction had a light offering of replacement cows with a small consignment of good quality bred heifers in the 3rd stage that sold with good demand, few bred cows in the 2nd and 3rd stage along with a few pairs of running age cows selling with moderate demand. Feeder cattle were very lightly tested selling in small packages and mostly singles. Slaughter steers and heifers on a nice offering sold steady to 2.00 lower with slaughter cows trading steady to firm.
