Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, Feeder steers were steady to 10.00 higher. Feeder heifers were steady to 15.00 higher. Slaughter cows were steady this week. Slaughter bulls were steady to 2.00 lower this week. Very few pairs offered this week. A decent run of younger stock cows were kept for replacements but most offered were on the thinner side of scale. One more sale offered at this barn next week and then will be closed for Christmas and New Years Day weeks.
