Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week; steer calves were significantly higher on comparable sales, Feeder steers had too low of numbers last week to compare .Heifer calves sold steady and feeder heifers 600-650 lbs sold 5.00 lower. Slaughter cows were steady with slaughter bulls steady to 2.00 higher. Trade was very active on higher numbers and a higher market. Demand was strong with excellent buyer attendance
