Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, feeder steers 2.00-10.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 450 lbs 2.00-4.00 lower, 450-550 lbs steady to 8.00 higher and over 550 lbs 8.00-15.00 higher. Slaughter cows 1.00-3..00 higher. Demand good to very good. Supply moderate.. Prices were more variable in the lighter cattle with buyers shying away from several cattle still carrying a considerable amount of hair.
