Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers sold steady to 5.00 lower but the lower was hard to tell with very good demand and an active market. Heifers sold uneven from steady to 5.00 lower to 10.00 higher on a nice offering of 550-625 lb heifers. Demand was good for a moderate supply. Cattle futures have been volatile lately and slightly lower since the last sale, also cash fed cattle have lost a few dollars off the top of a couple weeks ago. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady.
