Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Slim comparisons to the April Grass Special two weeks ago but similar sales of steers and heifers sold with a sharply higher undertone. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. A very light supply didn't prohibit market activity with some stick out prices reached along the way. Demand good.
