Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers too lightly tested to allow for a meaningful price comparison. Demand was good across all the weights of steers and heifers, in spite of it being a lighter offering. A couple of long strings of yearling steers and heifers, balance small packages. There were quite a few buyers on the seats actively bidding which made for a fast paced auction. Slaughter cows mostly steady, bulls fully steady.
