Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, true comparisons were fairly light, but calves and feeders sold unevenly steady with the condition making the difference. The fleshier calves and yearlings sold with a weak undertone and the thinner yearlings sold with a firm to higher undertone. Demand was good for a light supply of mostly yearlings. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady.
