Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Trend not applicable due to light numbers of steers. A much higher undertone was noted on steers. Steers 1000-1200 lbs. were unevenly steady. Heifers 750-850 lbs. were 3.00-7.00 higher, 850-1000 lbs. were unevenly steady. Demand was good with many large load lots in todays offering. The next feeder cattle auction will be July 21st, expecting 2500 head of feeders, starting at 9:00 am.
