Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold 4.00 to 10.00 higher. Yearling load lots, in a more accurate comparison to four weeks ago, 3.00 to 4.00 lower. Slaughter cows were not tested two weeks ago but sold sharply higher. Another high quality offering this week that included several large reputation consignments. Buyers were aggressive from start to finish, really for all weights, but giving light grazing cattle the full 10.00 advance. Supply moderate, demand good.
