Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the sharp upswing two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold 5.00 to 10.00 lower, with some 5 wt calves managing to hold steady money. Slaughter cows steady. Some good quality on offer this week, just shorter numbers which maybe wasn't such a bad thing with some winter weather in the forecast Wednesday night and Thursday. Supply light, demand moderate.
