Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers 2.00-6.00 higher. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 higher. Demand good. Supply heavy. Lots of cattle on the move this week with several reputation consignments on hand. Large discounts continue for big unweaned calves with recent variable weather still causing some health issues.
