Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers traded unevenly steady in a range from 3.00 lower to 3.00 higher. Heifers mostly 2.00 to 5.00 lower. Slaughter cows 4.00 to 6.00 lower. Several attractive mid-sized strings of cattle gave buyers something to build around this week. A few load lots of steers were also met with plenty of interest. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good.
