Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week; steer and heifer calves traded 7.00 to 10.00 higher with a few instances 12.00 higher on load lots. A very active market with a large run of mainly long time weaned calves. A very nice offering with minimal internet activity with majority of the bidding coming from the seats. Sale again next Wednesday with many consignments already on the books.
