Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves under 350 lbs were not well tested. Steer calves 350-400 lbs steady to 1.00 higher; 400-550 lbs 2.00-8.00 higher; 550-600 lbs were steady. Heifer calves 350-600 lbs sold 5.00-10.00 higher. Feeders do not have a good comparison due to light numbers last week. Trade very active, demand very good. Slaughter cows were 5.00-8.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 3.00-7.00 higher.
