Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, heifers traded mostly 1.00 to 3.00 lower and while comparisons on steer cattle were pretty slim, most weights sold steady to firm. Several groups of new crop calves showed up this week, mostly unweaned with only one round of shots, but really good quality held throughout the entire sale. Discounts are starting to become more evident on those unweaned calves, with sharper deductions for heifers than their steer mates. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good.
