Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, long time weaned calves/yearlings steady to firm with unweaned, fleshy or lesser quality offerings 5.00-10.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady. Demand uneven. Supply moderate. Large seasonal price spreads now as buyers discount calves whose weaning status, flesh and/or vaccination status make them a greater health/death loss risk.
