Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold 3.00-10.00 higher. Demand was good to very good for a moderate supply that included several reputation consignments of weaned calves and some of the top prices were achieved near the end of the day as buyers finished up loads. Corn continued lower on Wednesday with July down hard and December new crop closing under $5.00/bushel. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 higher.
