Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 3.00 lower. A mix of weaned and unweaned calves made up the bulk of this week's offering with some very high quality consignments available. Numbers remain tight even for mid November, causing buyers to push a little harder to fill orders. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good.
