Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Last report published 6 weeks ago, therefore, no comparisons will be calculated. A very large string of black and red Chars (steers and heifers) were offered, amongst black steers and replacement quality heifers, resulting in wide price spreads. Flesh conditions were inconsistent, with moderate to moderate plus with a splash of green. The price trend was steady to weak with prices tending lower, but not measurably so. Moderate to slow was our market activity for today's sales. Next feeder cattle special is May 8th, 2020
