Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last tested auction from two weeks ago, steer calves under 550 lbs traded firm to 4.00 higher with not enough good comparisons over 550 lbs for a test. Feeder heifers unevenly steady. Several inches of snow on Sunday limiting receipts. Most producers content to hold cattle until the new year when often times prices trend higher through January if the weather cooperates. Demand was moderate to good and supply light.
