Reporter comment USDA

As filed

This is the first report since a month ago due to storms in the area. The only weight to compare were 700 to 750 lb. heifers which were 4.00 higher today. Todays offering consisted of two loads of 700 and 800 weight heifers and many small lots of mixed steers and heifers. Good demand for todays offering and most prices were higher than a month ago.
