Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold mostly 1.00 to 4.00 higher. Slaughter cows 3.00 to 4.00 higher. Pretty light offering this week with really only one big string of cattle available that included a 100 head draft of heifers. A consignment of reputation replacement heifers also generated quite a bit of chatter. Cattle futures finally found a little footing Tuesday after several days of losses but corn continued its surge. Supply light, demand moderate to good.
