Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold mostly steady. Demand was moderate to good for a moderate supply of quality yearlings and calves. Corn harvest is well underway now and the weather has been favorable for work in the field, but it's been a pretty dry late summer for the surrounding area and a rain would be beneficial. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 lower.
