Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to 2 weeks ago Thursday, not enough stocker or feeder cattle for accurate trends. Slaughter cows and bulls steady to firm. A major milk processor in the trade area is discounting non-quota milk by half price resulting in dairies culling heavier than usual. Trade active with good demand.
