Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last tested market five weeks ago, steers and heifers sold mostly 5.00 to 7.00 lower. Several loads and part loads of long time weaned cattle were scattered across just a couple of buyers this week. A few more calves are starting to show up and heifers made up a larger percentage of the offering than normal. So far a much better week for cattle futures after a dismal stretch that lasted a couple weeks. Supply and demand moderate.
