Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Comparisons were light to the last reported sale two weeks ago, but steers and heifers sold with a steady to weak undertone with the overall quality below average or the better calves showing up short weaned. Supply was light and several smaller packages were offered, but also some nice consignments of 6 weight steers made their way to town and they sold with a firm undertone and saw the best demand. Demand was moderate for the rest of the cattle. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm when compared to two weeks ago.
