Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last tested market four weeks ago, steers sold mostly 2.00 to 5.00 higher and heifers 3.00 to 5.00 lower. Lots of interest for the handful of load lots on offer with the full advance seen on 9 weight steers. Steer cattle found many more outlets this week than their heifer mates. Supply light to moderate, demand moderate to good.
