Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers 600-700 lbs 8.00 higher, heifers 500-600 lbs 5.00 higher. All other feeder classes and weights were steady to 4.00 lower. Demand was good for weights suitable for grass. Slaughter cows sold 5.00 higher, slaughter bulls were steady. Good crowd on hand as new owners take over the reins from long time established previous ownership.
