Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold unevenly steady on slim comparisons. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 5.00 lower. Very active market for the yearling consignments and some strings of new crop calves but harder to catch any bids for a bawler, as one would expect this time of year given weather and health concerns. Supply and demand moderate.
