Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the light test two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold mostly weak to 2.00 lower. Slaughter cows 6.00 to 7.00 lower. Not very many calves in town yet as this week's offering consisted of larger strings and load lots of yearlings. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good.
