Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Too few feeders last week for a good price comparison, undertone higher. Slaughter cows and bulls 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Demand moderate to mostly good, supply heavy. The weather much improved from a week ago. A higher percentage of wean/vac calves and several packages of yearlings in the offering.
