Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher with spots 10.00 higher on some higher quality groups of heifers. Demand was good for a moderate supply. There's been quite a bit of volatility transpire in the futures markets since the last sale and the cash trend really is contradictory to the board. However, there have been a few days of stability and buyers seem confident in the fundamentals of the market and know the high quality calves won't last forever. A large offering of slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 higher.
