Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to a much larger run last week, steers and heifers traded with a lower undertone. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Mostly small groups on offer this week with a high percentage of single head lots and very small packages with quality not as attractive as the last sale. Supply light, demand moderate.
