Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, a run of mainly loads of yearlings sold steady to 3.00 lower. A few groups of calves sold with a steady to lower undertone with the heat and risk to blame for anything lower. Demand was moderate for yearlings and moderate to light for calves in the middle of an excessive heat wave. Supply was light. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady.
