Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale four weeks ago, steers and heifers traded mostly 5.00 to 7.00 lower. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 3.00 lower. Lots of volatility in the cattle sector since the last sale here in Green City and while the cash feeder market has rebounded off it's lows of a few weeks ago, buyers weren't ready to push prices back to steady money. Several load lots of yearling cattle were still readily absorbed. Supply and demand moderate.
