Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale three weeks ago, steers and heifers sold steady to 4.00 higher with spots up to 8.00 higher, specifically on 700-725 lb steers and 5 weight heifers. Slaughter cows steady. Several large strings of home raised cattle were on offer this week with good quality and condition from start to finish. Plenty of mud in the area currently but warmer temperatures next week and plenty of moisture should give a nice kick start to the growing season. Supply moderate, demand good.
