Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last special two weeks ago, the best test was on two pot loads of 725-732 lb heifers trading steady to 3.00 higher, all other weights and groups of feeder cattle were lightly tested with limited sales. Several groups of feeder calves were unweaned and the 6 weight steers selling were all big calves but all sold with good demand. The stick out sales were the pot loads of heifers weighing 725 and 732 selling at 345.00-347.50 and a pot load of heifers going for replacements weighing 751 lbs at 351.50. Slaughter cows on a light test sold sharply lower than two weeks ago mostly 12.00-15.00 lower.
