Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, on a special calf and yearling sale; feeder steers mostly steady with reputation quality packages over 500 lbs instances 4.00-5.00 higher, feeder heifers mostly steady with higher overtones noted with 2.00-3.00 higher, instances 5.00-7.00. Not enough yearlings for a good market test. Demand good with good buyer participation.
