Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to firm. The exception was a large consignment of near 800 head of yearling heifers in an attractive condition that were sorted and sold in mainly 3 groups weighing from 600-800 lbs, selling with a higher undertone. Demand was moderate to good. The calves saw varying levels of discounts near the peak of the drastic temperature swings, but mainly based upon flesh conditions as long as they had received some vaccinations. Slaughter cows sold 4.00-8.00 lower.
