Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers sold 6.00 to 8.00 higher and heifers 3.00 to 6.00 lower with spots as much as 10.00 lower after the sharp upswing two weeks ago. Slaughter cows unevenly steady. A few large consignments were on hand but this week's offering was mostly made up of small groups to medium sized strings, with some good quality and condition throughout most of the day. Cow numbers are still running very high as herd liquidation continues. Supply heavy, demand moderate to good.
