Reporter comment USDA

As filed

First reported sale in several weeks a market comparison is not applicable. However a higher undertone was noted. Very attractive supply of longtime weaned steers and heifers on hand Tuesday. Most sold in load lots with a few packages in the run. Quite a few buyers bidding readily on Tuesday's offerings. Some of the cattle will be heading to summer grass.
