Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, a very light test on a light offering of mostly unweaned steer, bull, and heifer calves selling right off the cows sold with light to moderate demand. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm on a nice offering. Even though this was a light offering, unweaned calves are starting to show up and face discounts as compared to their weaned counterparts.
