Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week's heavy volume auction a much lighter offering of feeders this week were lightly tested with comparisons very limited on a light supply of feeders as many of the feeders were short weaned or right off the cow selling in small groups and singles. Slaughter cows on a large offering sold fully steady to firm. also selling was a consignment of good quality black bred heifers in the second stage selling with good demand.
