Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, a light supply of feeders sold with a steady undertone. Mostly smaller packages were offered with several un-weaned calves and bulls with the exception of a few consignments of yearlings. A much larger run is expected next week. Slaughter cows sold mostly 4.00-6.00 lower. Farmers are enjoying the dry weather which is making for progress in the field, but it is starting to get pretty dry in West Central Missouri and if there is going to be anymore growth in pastures this fall some moisture needs to come quickly.
