Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week steer calves 450-700 lbs and heifer calves 400-650 lbs sold sharply lower. Demand was light to moderate from the buyers in the seats. Wet weather within the trade area over the last few days made for a shorter than expected consignments sheet and also created muddy ground conditions in the buyers weaning pens. Nice offering of packages of bawling calves on offer.
