Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No price comparison to last week because of limited receipts. Supply was moderate with very good demand. Three weight steer calves sold up to 332.50, four weight steers sold up to 325.00 and five weight steers sold up to 301.50. A fancy set of 33 heifers weighing 508 lbs. sold for 284.00.
