Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week; Feeder Steers 800-850lbs 4.00 to 7.00 lower, 900-950lbs 2.00 to 7.00 higher. Not all weights well tested for comparison. Feeder heifers - No weights well tested for comparison. Many long strings of yearlings in todays offering. Most calves sold were unweaned causing these calves to be sold at the bottom of the price range. Good buyer demand. Flesh condition light to moderate.
