Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Wednesday: Feeder steers and heifers were unevenly steady for todays sale. Flesh conditions were silky and green for most large strings, the balance were of moderate flesh condition. There was a good demand for the offerings today although buyers are still discounting those calves without pre-condition shots. The pace of the market was moderate to active. Next sale is Friday Oct 28, 2020.
