Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week; most of the offering between steers and heifers sold mostly steady with only a 8 weight steer selling 3.00 lower than last week. A nice offering on a lighter sale with sub zero temperatures in the area with snow. A few smaller packages of fly weight heifers sold higher than last week. Nicer weather next week will make for a larger offering next Wednesday.
