Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Very slim comparisons to the last sale two weeks ago but some similar steers and heifers traded 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. Flooding throughout the trade area forced cancellations after major highways have been closed and many side roads also remain impassable. Several regular buyers were absent and those that were active had to get pretty creative with truck routes for their cattle's next destination. Supply light and demand moderate.
