Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the auction from last week, feeder steers and heifers traded mostly steady. There were some exceptions as a load of 850 lb heifers topped out at 147.25 which would be higher than any recent offerings of that weight. There was also more downward pressure on the unweaned and fleshier calves as the warm days and cool nights will challenge the health of these calves, as it always does this time of year. Demand was good and supply light to moderate.
