Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold steady. Several smaller to moderate sized consignments of fancy calves were on hand and demand was good for a light supply. The unusual heat has likely slowed the calf run some, along with the near perfect conditions for harvest and many farmers are done with corn and onto beans. Slaughter cows sold 4.00-6.00 higher.
