Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steer and heifer calves sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Yearling load lots 5.00 to 6.00 lower. Slaughter cows 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Another massive sell off at the CME late in the trading session cooled the yearling buyers off somewhat but the calf trade held up pretty well even though the bulk of the calf offering was right off the cow. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good.
