Reporter comment USDA

As filed

There were too few calves and yearlings to establish a trend. Supply was light as the big numbers that showed up early in the summer when it was dry seem to have caught up, heat is on it's way and there has been some moisture in the area. Demand was moderate. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady.
