Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No accurate comparison on any class due to no reported sales the past two weeks due to the holidays but a much higher trend in calves under 500 lbs. and a very uneven market. A good selection of weaned calves with good weighing conditions. Feeders also trending higher. Slaughter cows and bulls steady to strong. Trade active, demand very good.
