Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last report, feeder steers sold 8.00 to 19.00 higher, with no trend available on feeder heifers. No trend available on slaughter cows and bulls due to not enough comparable sales. With to few comparable sales on sheep and goats to trend. Trade was active with a good demand with a light to moderate supply.
