Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves and feeders mostly 2.00-4.00 higher. A few lots of 300-400 lb. stocker bulls, long time weaned with a good shot program from a reputation herd in high demand and sold accordingly. Slaughter cows 2.00 higher, no accurate comparison on bulls but a lower undertone noted on limited receipts.
