Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Stocker and feeder steers sold 4.00 to 8.00 lower. Stocker and feeder heifers sold 2.00 to 5.00 lower. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 3.00 to 4.00 lower. Supply was light with softer buyer demand with several plain and fleshy new crop calves being offered that were discounted. Yearling types that were weaned were attractive to the buyer as usual for this time of the year.
