Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Too few steer and heifer calves offered to allow a good comparison. Yearling feeder steers sold with steady to lower undertones. Yearling feeder heifers sold with lower undertones. A lighter offering as cattle producers are still trying to get corn harvest completed, last week's rains and dreary weather had kept them out of the combine until today. Calf offering was very uneven for quality, good demand remains for high quality, attractive calves, very light demand for poorer, plainer quality cattle. A nice offering of strings of yearlings. Flesh condition moderate plus to heavy flesh. The steep decline in the cattle futures complex ended and turned higher today, helping to reassure cattle feeders that better days might lie ahead.
