Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves sold mostly steady except the 450-500 lb weight range selling 5.00-7.00 higher on heifers, and a full 20.00 higher on steers. Yearlings sold with a higher undertone. The majority of the offering was new crop calves but a few groups of yearlings were on hand, all seeing good to very good demand. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 3.00 higher.
