Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, the overall quality wasn't as attractive with the winter storm and holidays fast approaching but the higher quality steer calves under 550 lbs traded steady and heavier weights sold 4.00-8.00 lower. Heifers traded fully steady. The lesser quality cattle or those un-weaned sold with a lower undertone. Supply and demand were moderate for the last sale of 2022. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher with some high dressing cows up to 4.00 higher, bulls 2.00-3.00 higher.
