Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, a limited test traded steady to 5.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 6.00 lower. A very light start to the fall run here at the local barn but good demand for the most part throughout the day. The vast majority of the supply was calves, a mix of weaned/worked and not, with some of the fleshier offerings seeing some extra seasonal discounts. Supply light, demand moderate to good.
