Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week the only steer weights comparable were 750 to 800 lbs. that were 6.00 lower. Feeder heifers 550 to 650 lbs. were 9.00 to 10.00 lower and 650 to 750 lbs. were 6.00 to 11.00 lower. Other weights not well tested for a comparison. Buyer demand only moderate for the smaller lots in the offering but for the few load lots the demand was good. Most feeders were in light to moderate flesh condition.
