Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to Wednesday last week: The feeder steers and heifers were unevenly steady. The large consignments offered today were in very good demand contributing to the slightly higher averages in those weight groups. The majority of consignments were favored for having all the branding time shots coupled with the precondition shots. There was moderate market activity on the moderately fleshed calves. Next sale is Friday Nov. 8, 2019.
