Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Thursday at the same market. Stocker and feeder cattle firm. Demand was moderate to good for all yearling type cattle. Slaughter cows unevenly steady. Lean cows sold with the best demand as packers search for lean cows to blend down trimmings from over finished cattle which are currently being marketed. Slaughter bulls 3.00-4.00 lower. Trade active with good demand and good buyer attendance.
