Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Very few comparisons to the last tested market 4 weeks ago. Most classes of cattle traded unevenly steady, from 2.00 lower to 2.00 higher. A wide range of quality throughout the sale led to varied demand. Unweaned cattle in particular were hit with a steeper discount this week. Supply moderate.
