Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Slim comparisons to the last sale two weeks ago but some similar steers traded unevenly steady and heifers firm to 4.00 higher. Slaughter cows weak to 5.00 lower. Several decent sized groups for an overall light run, including a couple pot loads that generated a lot of interest. Supply light, demand moderate, good in spots.
