Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week; steer and heifer calves traded 3.00 to 5.00 higher with a few instances 10.00 higher on steer calves under 550 lbs. Steer and heifer calves over 700 lbs traded mostly steady to last week on comparable trades. Nice offering again this week with a very active market on long stings of load lots to package trade. Sale again next Wednesday.
