Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly steady but there were spots 5.00-10.00 lower than the extreme highs from last week on some calves under 550 lbs. A really nice offering of fall-born calves was on hand offered in moderate sized groups and they found good demand on a moderate supply. The weather has been warmer and dryer for the last few days and some field work is being done again here and there. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady.
