Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steer and heifer calves sold mostly steady and a nice offering of yearling heifers and a few yearling steers sold with a higher undertone. Demand was good for a moderate supply. A few different consignments of long weaned calves and yearlings provided some top notch cattle. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 higher.
