Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, feeder receipts were too light for an adequate price comparison. Slaughter cows sold 2.00 to 7.00 higher. Demand was moderate on a very light supply as hot temperatures outside held cattle from coming to market in hopes of more mild expected weather next week.
