Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: No accurate comparison on steer and heifer calves and feeders due to limited comparable quotes but a higher undertone noted on larger or load lots of good quality offerings in the 500-650 lb. range. Slaughter cows and bulls steady to 2.00 higher. Trade active, demand good.
