Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, more yearlings were featured with fewer calves in the offering but the yearlings sold with a firm undertone and the calves sold mostly steady. Demand was good for a moderate supply. Hay season is in full swing across the area and the corn is beginning to tassle. Slaughter cows that were average dressing sold steady but the higher dressing kind sold 5.00-10.00 higher.
