Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales for a market trend. Demand was moderate to good. Shorter summer runs have begun, but recent rains have pastures in good shape. Temperatures hit triple digits this week, with rain and a cool down going into the weekend.
