Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Friday; steer calves traded steady to 2.00 higher. Heifer calves traded 4.00 to 7.00 higher. A nice run of all classes of feeder cattle with yet again very active market from package trade to load lots. Very warm weather in the area and green grass starting show has grass cattle at a premium. Sale again next Wednesday.
