Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold unevenly steady. Demand was mixed as well with the best demand for weaned steers over 600 lbs and 500-650 lb heifers. Flesh was discounted whether the cattle were weaned or not. Supply was light to moderate and impacted by the rain forecast overnight, but some quality groups of cattle were still offered. Slaughter cows sold 4.00-8.00 lower.
