Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold either side of steady with the exception of some 5-600 lb calves trading sharply higher. Slaughter cows steady to 5.00 higher. Little to no concerns ringside about tariffs or any other market disruptions this week, with cash feeder prices continuing on an upward trajectory. Pretty nice run on offer and buyers are certainly taking a "buy now or cry later" stance as numbers continue to grow short moving into grazing season. Supply moderate, demand good to very good.
