Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs. 2.00-6.00 higher though quality more attractive. Feeder steers over 600 lbs. 3.00 higher. Feeder heifers over 600 lbs. steady to 2.00 higher. No accurate comparison on slaughter cows and bulls due to increased demand from a different source, particularly on fleshy offerings, but a much higher undertone noted and an increased supply of fleshy boner and breaker offerings. Trade active, demand good to very good,especially on cows and bulls.
