Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week slaughter cattle were mostly steady to 2.00 lower, while feeder cattle were mostly 6.00 to 8.00 higher. A consignment from a reputable producer consisting of over 470 head of steers, heifer, and bulls sold in large groups. These cattle were pre-conditioned, mostly black hided, weaned, and vaccinated. Trade and demand were active with heavy offerings. Quality of cattle attractive.
