Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week not enough feeder cattle for a comparison however undertones were steady to weak. Supply was light with moderate demand. Slaughter cows sold steady. Not enough slaughter bulls for a trend. The offering today did include several herd sell outs. A large crowd was on hand as bred cows sold up to 4,100.00 per head and cow-calf pairs sold up to 5,600.00 per pair. Demand was very good for the replacement cattle.
