Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week the only comparable weights were heifers 700 to 750 lbs. which were 5.00 higher. Other weights of steers and heifers did not have the numbers for a comparison. Good demand for todays offering especially for the lighter weight steers and heifers to go onto grass . The recent snow and rains have improved the pasture and hay outlook for this summer. Todays offering consisted of small lots and a couple of load lots. Feeders were in light to moderate flesh condition today.
