Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to a light test last week, steers sold 5.00 to 7.00 higher and heifers steady to 5.00 higher. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 3.00 lower. The local market had a little bounce back after last week's lower trend thanks to improved quality and some larger consignments providing buyers a little flexibility. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good.
