Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold mostly steady to 4.00 lower. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Good demand for the handful of load lots on offer and some bigger strings of reputation homeraised stock. Some unweaned calves are starting to show up in town, some seeing deeper discounts based on quality and health history. Supply moderate.
