Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week; Heavy rainfall in the drawing area caused smaller numbers and uneven market. Steer calves and feeder steers sold uneven. Heifer calves and feeder heifers had no comparable sales or numbers. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-6.00 lower and slaughter bulls were steady to 1.00 lower. Excellent buyer attendance.
