Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No comparison to last week sale was not reported due to absences of reporter. Compared to two weeks ago feeder steers were mostly steady and feeder heifers were mostly steady as well but had higher undertones to the previous sale two weeks ago. On a light test slaughter cows and bulls both were 5.00 to 10.00 higher than two weeks ago. Slaughter cow supply was high in quality animals. Suppy was moderate on all ranges and demand was good to strong.
