Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No Comparison to last week due to July 4th holiday. There was moderate demand for all classes of feeder and slaughter cattle, with slight offerings and moderate buyer activity this week. Buyers showed good interest in steer cattle and cattle with favorable condition as Hot July weather steady’s throughout the region with heat of the day showers.
