Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Reporters note , still high percentage of light bull calves to steers ,with most steers bring 10.00-30.00 more than bulls in same quality ; looks like farmers are leaving a lot money on the table by not castrating bulls, even on smaller calves ; however we are not seeing many light good quality steers most are bulls ; Compared to last weeks sale light steers under 600#s sold 1.00-15.00 lower; steers over 600 #s sold 3.00-8.00 Higher; feeder heifers under 600#s sold 1.00-9.00 Lower ; heifers over 600 #s sold 113.00-29.00 higher; feeder yearling groups were reported as #1-2s and groups were good quality, weaned over 45 days with 2 rounds of respiratory shots this gave groups added value; slaughter cows sold Steady to weaker; slaughter bulls sold 1.00-10.00 lower
