Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last feeder auction two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 higher. Pretty good quality throughout the sale with most of the fall calves on offer weaned and worked. Nearly all the regular buyers were in their seats and with several farmers playing an active role, the market pushed higher throughout the day. Supply moderate to heavy, demand good.
