Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Yearling steers and heifers traded 1.00 to 5.00 higher. Trade activity was moderate on good demand. The panhandle had welcomed thunderstorms early in the week that benefited drought stricken pastures. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher.
