Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week; steer and heifer calves traded 4.00 to 6.00 higher with instances 11.00 higher on part loads and load lots of green grass heifers and steers weighing 500 to 650 lbs. A very active market with nicer dryer weather in the area. Pen conditions have improved with more moisture in the future forecast. Steers or heifers green enough to go back to grass are in high demand. Sale again next Wednesday.
