Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers traded unevenly steady, heifers 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. This week's offering was highlighted by a 450 plus head consignment from a local producer, all out of reputation bulls, mostly offered in load lots and large drafts. Several other load and part load lots gave buyers some numbers to work with. Really a healthy market this week given another sharp advance in the corn market Tuesday. Supply heavy, demand good.
