Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Steer calves 13.00-17.00 higher, feeders 3.00-10.00 higher, the most advance on a few 600-700 lbs. Heifer calves under 600 lbs. 9.00-16.00 higher except 300-400 lbs. 20.00- 31.00 higher. A good selection of weaned, value added calves with good condition and quality more attractive. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher, bulls 3.00 higher. Trade very active, demand very good with increased buyer participation.
