Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady except for steer calves under 550 lbs trading 5.00-10.00 higher. Demand was good for a light to moderate supply that included some reputation consignments of hard weaned cattle. With warmer temperatures, everyone's mind goes to spring and grass and calves to graze were in high demand. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower.
