Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks ago on comparable offerings of steers sold 1.00 to 3.00 higher and heifers sold 3.00 to 5.00 higher. . Arctic blast of cold air across the trading region this week did not deter buyers from showing up and procuring top quality, ranched raised calves and feeders. Demand was good from start to finish.
