Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold with a very uneven trend as the light supply of weaned and worked cattle traded steady to 5.00 higher and anything off the cow or lacking a health history sold sharply lower. Slaughter cows 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Typical October offering this week with the larger percentage of the offering coming to town unweaned, many with only one round of shots, creating wide price spreads. Supply moderate, demand moderate at best.
