Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to a more accurate test of the market from two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold mostly steady except for some steers under 500 lbs trading up to 10.00 higher. Demand was good for a moderate supply. The warm up on Wednesday allowed producers an opportunity to transport cattle and some reputation consignments were offered. Slaughter cows sold 6.00-8.00 higher, bulls steady.
