Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the light test two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold 2.00 to 5.00 with some instances of 7.00 to 9.00 higher, mostly on 450-650 lb steers. Slaughter cows unevenly steady. Several strings of unweaned cattle on offer this week but in many cases, quality trumped health history with very few deep discounts throughout the day. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good.
