Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Inclement weather hitting the area limited receipts today, but demand was good. Feeder dairy heifers sold unevenly steady. Average dressing slaughter cows sold mostly 3.00 to 4.00 higher with slaughter bulls lightly tested at 1.00 higher. The next available report will be Thursday, January 26, 2023 combined with the feeder cattle.
