Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week; steer and heifer calves traded 4.00 to 8.00 higher with a few instances 10.00 higher on calves with spring and fall shots. Yearling steers and heifers traded mostly steady on a light offering. A nice offering today with a few weaned calves but mainly all calves right off the cow. A very active internet early in the day but most of the bidding coming from seats later in the day. Moisture in the area has helped pen conditions settling the dust. Sale again next Wednesday.
