Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves sold 5.00-20.00 higher with bigger groups this week for buyers to put together. The quality was very good throughout the day, with the vast majority being fall-born calves right off the cow. Two loads of 9 weight steers sold as well. Demand was good to very good for a heavy supply. Cash fed cattle sold 1.00-3.00 higher on Thursday but the board was modestly lower, however neither seemed to affect the market much one way or the other and buyers were aggressive with positive fundamentals still. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 lower, bulls 3.00-10.00 higher.
