Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Thursday at the same market, not enough stocker or feeder cattle this week for accurate market trends. Quality not as attractive this week as most supplies where small lots and singles. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 higher. Packers continue to buy for the storm market as inclement weather conditions in the trade area affecting movement of livestock. Slaughter bulls were too lightly tested to develop any market trend. Trade active with good demand.
