Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, which was the BBQ Special feeder steers and heifers overall were lightly tested to allow for a good solid price comparison, but a pot load of 911 lb steers sold fully steady and a few comparable sales of steers weighing 500-700 lbs sold with a firm undertone. A few comparable sales of heifers weighing 500-650 lbs sold near steady. Demand was good on a light offering of feeder cattle.
