Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, breaking type slaughter cows were steady to 1.00 higher and boning type slaughter cows were 3.00 to 4.00 higher; there were too few comparable slaughter bulls to establish an adequate market comparison. Feeder cattle were unevenly steady. Demand, market activity, and buyer interest were mostly moderate. Offerings of cattle were moderate. Cattle quality was mostly average.
