Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady despite some of the impressive top prices seen last week on the heifer calves not quite achieved. Demand was good for a light to moderate supply with some nice packages of calves and yearlings offered. Slaughter cows sold mostly 3.00-6.00 lower, spots 8.00-10.00 on the fleshier cows.
