Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, a few groups of quality weaned calves and yearlings sold with a steady undertone, while the un-weaned calves sold with a weak to lower undertone. Supply was light and demand was moderate with the overall quality not as attractive as last week. With the abrupt arrival of fall temperatures, the seasonal high health risk on the calves is here and buyers were more cautious on those short weaned or just off the cow. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-5.00 lower, bulls steady.
