Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers under 550 lbs sold firm, heavier weights steady to 5.00 lower. Heifers were lightly tested but some 450-600 lb heifers sold 5.00 to 6.00 higher. Slaughter cows unevenly steady. Several attractive bunches on offer this week but a hefty dose of small packages and single head lots as well. Supply light, demand moderate.
