Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No recently tested market for a price comparison, undertone higher. Not many cattle moving in the trade area the last 4-5 weeks but most of the top quality load lots picked up right where they left off in late July and tacked a little more on as well. Supply moderate, demand good.
