Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly steady but with spots 5.00 higher to 5.00 lower. Few recent comparisons could be made to several loads of yearling steers offered but the undertone was steady. The quality of the cattle held the market up with no help from the board that saw sharp losses since last week. Also, corn has continued to work higher. Demand was moderate to good and the quality and condition was good with several groups of cattle off of grass and most of the calves were weaned with shots. Supply was moderate. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher.
