Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly 5.00-10.00 higher with spots 15.00 higher on heifer calves under 500 lbs. Some reputation consignments of long weaned cattle made for an active market but there were also some new crops in the mix that and they found good demand as well as the old crop calves start to become harder to find. Demand was good for a moderate to light supply. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-5.00 higher with spots up to 10.00 higher.
