Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale three weeks ago, steer calves sold steady with a few spots as much as to 2.00 lower, yearling steers and all weights of heifers traded 1.00 to 5.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Pretty good late summer run especially given this week's heat wave. Several loads and part loads of yearlings were easily absorbed and any weaned calves didn't have much trouble finding new homes either. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good.
