Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, based on a limited test, slaughter cattle were 4.00 to 8.00 higher due to a limited supply because of wet weather conditions. Feeder cattle were mostly steady to 3.00 higher. Demand was good; market activity and buyer interest were active. Offerings of cattle were light. Cattle quality was better than average, with several new crop fleshy calves.
