Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good for a moderate supply of feeders and a heavy supply of cows as producers continue to cull due to dry conditions. There was quite a bit of variance in how the calves were handled, which made up most of the offering, with some really fancy un-weand calves to some longer weaned cattle in a more attractive condition but several consignments that came in Thursday morning had a pretty average weigh-up and were carrying some fill. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady but with spots 2.00 higher to 2.00 lower.
