Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No comparisons to last week are available the sale was not reported. On a moderate supply of feeders today demand was good and buyer attendence was lighter than normal. New crop fleshly calves were discounted by buyers while lighter fleshed and value added cattle brought a premiuim comparably. Slaughter cattle and replacemant cow supply were both good with strong demand for both.
