Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last reported sale three weeks ago, steers and heifers sold slightly uneven with steers mostly steady to spots 4.00 lower and heifers steady to spots 5.00 higher on the calves. Demand was good and buyers were active with some very good quality cattle on offer. Supply was moderate but the excessive rain and mud no doubt prevented more from coming to town. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly 2.00-3.00 lower, spots steady on the higher dressing kind.
