Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Limited comparisons to last week but steers and heifers sold steady to weak. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 5.00 lower. Mostly small packages of cattle on offer this week with a large percentage of one and two head lots. Pretty good demand even given the lower numbers and an overall less attractive offering. Supply moderate.
