Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the sale three weeks ago which provided the most accurate comparable sales, steers and heifers sold steady to firm. Demand was good for a moderate supply that was highlighted by a home raised consignment of near 125 head of long weaned black yearlings. The majority of slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 higher when compared to two weeks ago, however some of the extreme high dressing kind sold sharply higher.
