Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale three weeks ago, steers and heifers sold mostly steady. Slaughter cows 5.00 to 10.00 higher. This week's sale was highlighted by a couple really attractive consignments of fall calving bred heifers and running age cows, all met with very good demand. The feeder offering consisted of mostly small packages with a hefty dose of one- and two-head lots. Supply moderate.
