Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves under 550 lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher, heavier steers and all weights of heifers sold steady. Demand was good for the calves and moderate for yearlings. Supply was light to moderate following last weeks large sale. Demand for grazing calves is no doubt starting to pick up. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady.
