Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Limited price comparisons this week in a light test. Steers and heifers of similar weights not well compared this week. Steady to lower undertones present today. Demand for this light offering was moderate. The weather is beautiful, with farmers in the field getting crops out and harvest duties finished. Calf prices vary depending on hide color, vaccinations received and size of the lot. CME Feeder Cattle lower while corn took a big jump. Slaughter cows 3.00 to 5.00 lower. Bulls to few to make a meaningful comparison.
