Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold steady except for those weighing 550-650 lbs selling 5.00-15.00 higher. Heifers sold steady except for the 500-575 lb weight range 10.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good for a moderate supply. A few reputation consignments highlighted the sale and some impressive price levels were achieved with the bounce back in the futures market from the low's a couple weeks ago. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 5.00 higher.
