Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 3.00 higher. Demand was good for a moderate supply. Some larger consignments of yearlings that included several load lots made up most of the feeder offering. Heavy rain over the weekend discouraged some producers from moving cattle. Slaughter cows sold 4.00-5.00 higher, bulls mostly steady.
