Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week's lighter test, steer and heifer calves under 550 lbs sold 5.00-20.00 higher, mid weights from 550-650 lbs sold 5.00-10.00 higher and those over 700 lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher. A much larger run was offered this week for the Annual Customer Appreciation Sale and long strings of reputation cattle flowed through the ring all day. Demand was good to very good. There is obviously a very optimistic outlook to the cattle market thanks to positive fundamentals and plentiful forage and feedstuffs, creating a very competitive atmosphere for calves and yearlings. Supply was heavy.
