Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves under 550 lbs sold 5.00-10.00 lower while heavier weights of steers and all weights of heifers sold mostly steady. The fall calf run is still in the early stages but those producers who don't plan on weaning are bringing calves to town and several consignments are not weaned, no shots and still bulls. The board was in a free fall Tuesday and lower again Wednesday, so buyers have backed up a little. Demand was moderate for a moderate supply. Slaughter cows sold 1.00-3.00 lower.
