Reporter comment USDA

As filed

NOTE: NEXT WEEK: JULY 3, 2023. THE TULSA STOCKYARDS WILL BE CLOSED TO OBSERVE INDEPENDENCE DAY.

Following straight wind damage to the Tulsa Stockyards, resulting in no sale last week, this week both steers and heifers had a lower undertone noted. Demand good. Quality good. Slaughter Cows 5.00 higher. Slaughter Bulls 3.00-6.00 higher.
