Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, three loads of 9 weight steers traded fully steady; all other weights and classes of cattle traded steady to 5.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady. Quality was not as impressive as the past couple sales but the condition of most of the calves on offer was good for the summer season. Supply light and demand moderate.
