Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks ago; steer and heifer calves sold sharply higher. A very active market on all weights with fly weigh cattle in high demand. Several buyers in the seats and a active internet on fly weight cattle. A nice offering today with package trade throughout the day. Sale again next Wednesday.
