Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week steers and heifers sold unevenly steady. Demand was good for the short supply of calves and bred cows. Some of the calves were longtime weaned. Few, consignments didn't make it to town due to the light snow and rain earlier in the week. Next Wednesday, Nov 18, will be a special bred heifer and cow auction.
