Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Light offering this week due to the frigid temperatures. Compared to last week steers under 800 lbs there was not a good test of the market, however a lower undertone was noted. Steers over 800 lbs were steady to 5.00 higher. Heifers under 800 lbs were steady to 2.00 higher with the exception of 700 to 750 lb heifers selling 2.00 lower. The demand was light on a light supply.
