Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, a light test of calves and yearlings sold mostly steady except for some 400-500 lb heifer calves selling with a higher undertone. Demand was moderate to good. The mud kept several cattle at home but no one is complaining and the sun was shining on a beautiful fall Wednesday with the grass greening up quickly. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady.
