Reporter comment USDA

As filed

COmpared to last week, steers sold steady to firm and heifers sold firm to 5.00 higher except for a nice offering of 600-650 lb heifers trading 8.00-10.00 higher. Demand was good for a moderate supply. A few loads of yearling heifers highlighted the sale but there were several nice consignments of weaned calves as well. The market has a very optimistic feel with the cash fed market gaining leverage as numbers begin to tighten but the full effect of the high number of cows slaughtered over the last few years is yet to be seen. Also, beef demand has been robust in the face of high production. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady.
