Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold mostly steady to uneveven. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs were steady but with lower trends noted. Heifers over 500 lbs were steady on light comparisons. Slaughter cattle were steady and slaughter bulls were steady as well on a light supply. Supply was light again this week with extreme heat breaking the 100 degree mark keeping larger offerings down. Demand was also hampered by the heat with buyers discounting any animals that were not weaned or carrying excess flesh.
