Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Yearling steers and heifers sold steady to 2.00 higher on limited comparable sales. Calves sold with a higher undertone on good demand. Most of the trading area received over an inch of rain to benefit local summer pastures that are suffering from the drought. Slaughter cows and bulls were steady.
