Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, a lighter test of steer and heifer calves sold mostly steady. Demand was moderate for a light to moderate supply. With the unusually warm weather and some big changes coming at some point, the un-weaned or short weaned calves that pose a higher health risk are being discounted and also several of the calves are carrying some flesh. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady.
