Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last tested auction from three weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers steady to 3.00 higher. Cattle quality varied throughout the day as did the lot sizes, with four pot loads of yearlings offered as well as many small packages of both calves and yearlings. Receipts were good for this time of year as usually May and June are slow with hay and crop planting taking up most of everyone's time. Demand moderate to good and supply moderate.
