Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers under 700 lbs sold sharply lower. Steers over 700 lbs were too thinly tested for an accurate trend. Feeder heifers did not have enough comparisons in any weight range for an accurate market trend. Slaughter cows sold unevenly steady and slaughter bulls sold 6.50 lower. The next available report will occur as receipts warrant.
