Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold mostly 15.00 higher with spots up to 20.00 higher on steer calves under 625 lbs. Heifers sold 5.00-10.00 higher. Demand was good to very good for a heavy supply of long weaned cattle. The nice weather has everyone in a more optimistic mood and a better position to handle newly purchased cattle. The cattle inventory report that came out Wednesday afternoon showed a herd size 2% lower than last year, another bullish signal. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 lower following last week's sharply higher trade.
