Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week; steer calves under 550 traded steady to 4.00 lower. Steer calves over 550 lbs traded 3.00 to 7.00 lower some instances 10.00 lower on heaver weights. Heifer calves traded unevenly steady with few instances of 4.00 lower on heifers under 500 lbs. Nice offering of feeder cattle with an active market considering the futures board being lower early in the week. Lighter run than expected due to weather and road closures this week.
