Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks ago; feeder steers and heifers traded 2.00 to 3.00 lower with the exception of a 900 lb heifer which sold steady to 2.00 higher. Nice offering with active bidding on the seats and the internet. Also had a small offering of calves off the cow due to drought conditions in the area.
