Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week's light test: Feeder steers and heifers sold 3.00 to 4.00 higher on limited comparable sales. Trade was fairly active on good demand. Temperatures hitting triple digits for the first time this summer, but recent rains at least improved drought conditions.
