Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale, On a very active market, buyers showed good demand for all classes of cattle on a moderate supply. No recent comparables for today's auction but the futures trading market is bouncing back and has shown a positive trend from the previous weeks. Warm temps have eased up a bit allowing more cattle to be moved and marketed. There was good demand on the slaughter cows and bulls as well.
