Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last reported sale three weeks ago, similar sales of steers sold 10.00-20.00 higher with some calves selling up to 30.00 higher. Heifers sold firm to 10.00 higher. Following weeks of negative news and a down market, cattle found a foothold with the fed market stabilizing and cattle futures trading higher for several days in a row. Market fundamentals have remained positive and the recent turnaround has given confidence to the market. Supply was heavy with a nice run of yearlings and demand was good. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 3.00-10.00 lower than three weeks ago.
