Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers under 650 lbs traded steady to firm and heifers sold steady to 6.00 higher. Thirteen straight loads of 700 lb yearling steers sold with no recent comparable sales for a trend. It was the Mo-Kan Classic sale and several guest auctioneers traded the microphone for long strings of cattle. Demand was good to very good and the supply was heavy despite the severe weather and constant rain storms. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher.
