Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers traded sharply higher with most weights and classes tacking on 8.00 to 15.00 even after last week's sharp upturn. Lighter grazing cattle weighing 400-600 lbs were in particular demand and benefitted from even more dramatic increases. A wide variety of cattle on hand this week with a couple stick out consignments highlighting the sale. Supply moderate, demand good to very good.
