Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Not enough cattle on offer for a true comparison. Slaughter cows 5.00 to 6.00 higher. Lots of factors in play this week pointing to an up market, just not really enough cattle available here at the local market to move much one way or another. A much larger run is expected in two weeks, when lots and pens are hopefully much drier and the market has further stabilized. Supply light, demand moderate.
