Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week's light test, steers and heifers sold with a firm to higher undertone. Several nice consignments of long weaned calves/short yearlings were on hand that saw very good demand. The highlight of the sale was a consignment that offered near 500 head off the same operation, including four square loads of long weaned black calves. Supply was moderate. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady.
