Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 lower. Slaughter cows 3.00 to 7.00 higher. Quality was greatly improved from last week but with a couple of the usual players not in their regular seats, the highs of last week were only met in a few weights and classes of cattle. Some top quality 600-650 lb steers and heifers did manage to tack a few dollars onto last week's top end. Supply moderate, demand good.
