Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last tested market four weeks ago, steers and heifers sold 5.00 to 10.00 lower except yearling load lots steady. Slaughter cows unevenly steady. As usual here at the local barn, yearlings ruled the day but some reputation consignments of high quality calves were on offer as well, most fresh off the cow. Supply moderate, demand good.
