Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold unevenly steady with instances 5.00 higher. Slaughter cows 4.00 to 6.00 lower. The typical seasonal price spread was pretty pronounced this week with the top notch cattle with all the work done still seeing some impressive prices and anything unweaned or especially without the desired two rounds of shots seeing significant discounts. Supply moderate, demand moderate, good in spots.
