Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, there were too few head to establish an adequate market comparison, however a higher undertone was noted especially for slaughter cattle. Demand was good; market activity and buyer interest were active. Offerings of cattle were light. Cattle quality was average. Baby calves ranged 75.00 to 140.00 per head.
