Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold steady to firm and heifers sold with a firm to higher undertone based on last weeks light test. Demand was good for a light to moderate supply that was highlighted by a couple loads of yearling heifers. Several smaller groups of home-raised yearlings were also on hand along with a few calves. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-6.00 lower.
