Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, a light test of steers and heifers traded mostly steady, with the best test on 6 wt cattle which traded up to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady. The local market held strong this week given some uneven quality and short numbers. Supply light, demand moderate, good in spots.
