Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady. Demand was good for a moderate to heavy supply that included nearly 20 loads of yearlings of which several were offered as multi-load lots. Also, a good quality run of calves made it town, most of which were vaccinated and un-weaned, seeing little to no discount for coming in off the cow. An additional 450 slaughter cows and bulls were sold but were not reported due to reporter absence.
