Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, feeders were too lightly tested for a trend with a light supply offered due to the snow and mud. A large group of 412 lb heifers was offered that sold with good demand and a few other quality packages of calves and yearlings saw moderate to good demand. Slaughter cows sold 6.00-8.00 higher.
