Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week; steer and heifer calves traded unevenly steady with instances weaker on package trade. Overall a nice offering with still an active market for long strings and grass type cattle. A very active internet today also with several different buyers participating in the sale. Sale again next Wednesday.
