Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers steady to 5.00 lower. Slaughter cows 10.00 to 15.00 lower. Pretty light run again this week, partly due to rain and muddy conditions, but several groups of weaned calves in the mix. Supply light, demand moderate.
