Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold 3.00-6.00 lower. Demand was moderate for a light to moderate supply affected by the wet weather early in the week. The coronavirus continues to be the main factor affecting the market negatively. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 lower.
