Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady except for heifer calves selling 5.00 to spots 10.00 higher. All though supply was light, some nice groups of weaned cattle were offered that saw good demand. Slaughter cows sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher, bulls sold 4.00 to 8.00 higher with spots up to 10.00 higher on high dressing individuals.
