Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week steer and heifer calves sold sharply lower. About 20 percent of the calves had not received any preconditioning shots. Buyers continue to demand calves with preconditioning shots, but light or thin fleshed calves with just spring shots were not heavily discounted like calves with moderate flesh that had received only spring shots.. Demand was moderate to good from the buyers in the crowd who were very selective with their purchases.
