Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers traded steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 4.00 higher. Pretty positive day all around with some solid cash trade at the local barn and also some nice gains on the Board. Quality was a little uneven but the market wasn't affected too much until late in the day as buyers were squared up. Supply and demand moderate.
