Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves traded unevenly steady to 3.00 higher, with yearling steers not well tested. Heifers traded unevenly steady. Bulk of the sale consisted of small packages and individuals, many of which lacked a complete health program and sometimes only short weaned. Buyers were looking to own cattle, but were quite selective about their purchases, making sure the quality and health program were acceptable for filling their orders. Demand was moderate to good and supply light.
